This is true.

The you send out mail to all of the people for whom you provide
standardized software saying:

"if you want to install kerberos, add the following lines to /etc/rc
after this one daemon is started but before these others.  To
de-install kerberos, remove those lines from /etc/rc.  Also, copy
these other files to /etc.  Be sure to save a backup copy of /etc/rc,
in case you screw up, and here's my 24-hour pager number in case you
have any problems."


I think saying:

"if you want to install kerberos, copy this file to
/etc/rc.d/SNNkerberos and these others to /etc.  to deinstall
kerberos, remove /etc/rc.d/SNNkerberos."

is much easier and far more reliable, for all involved.
