[lug] DNS and init

[Hugh Brown]

I think I remember that this was just the difference between the System
V derivates and the BSD derivates.

In AIX for instance, /etc/inittab is flush with entries for starting all
sorts of daemons.  In Linux, it's mostly in the runlevels.


I remember reading this in Essential Unix System Administration by
Frisch.

One thing I did notice is that in Linux the labels in /etc/inittab is
limited to four characters.
