daemons and init scripts

[Andreas Haupt <andreas.haupt@desy.de>]

Hi,

I've just reviewed some of our init scripts that start heimdal daemons
(kdc, kadmind, ...). What I've found is that only the kdc daemon
supports a command line option called --detach:

--detach                      detach from console

Would it be possible that all (ipropd-master, kpasswdd, ...) daemons
support such an option? This would make it easier to write correct init
scripts at least for RedHat systems. Its "daemon" function doesn't send
started programs into background itself.

Cheers,
Andreas
