Erm - does that include an "OFF" switch?

I've always liked the terseness of the NetBSD bootlog over what I see on
Linuxes. With fast machines and a 24x80 text console, there is only so much
time to read. And I probably won't enjoy picking the only important (for
me) information 'inetd' from what comment string NetBSD likes to print this
month.

Sorry for sounding so negative,
