I cannot find one here
https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/v...n/ulogd/files/
I think the error with ulogd maybe a generic one since the ulogd configuration file (/etc/ulogd.conf) has not been configured.
Will look into inet later.

Remove openrc and openrc-services and restore /etc/rc.d, the original /etc/init.d, and /etc/inittab from the backups.
Of course, why would you want to go back?

I didn't test openrc on production machines, so if I try, I'd prefer to know how to go backwards just in case.
BTW how to handle rc.local ?

OpenRC has a local start file for services.

Added with
new tag . Had meant to do it earlier but forgot.
Down the line will probably need to make a few changes to the download script as Gentoo seems to have migrated their package repository from svn to git.

About service scripts, can I just copied it from Gentoo?
Do I need to fix something in it?
From what I've seen from /etc/init.d/NetworkManager, it still needs to be fixed in "pidfile=".
Gentoo:
Code:
pidfile=/var/run/NetworkManager.pid
Slackware:
Code:
pidfile=/run/NetworkManager.pid

Certainly not. I didn't check, but most probably many services differ or are not shipped in both distributions.

I think that you should check each and every service.

That seems wrong. Have a look in /run and /var/run in Slackware.
Long story short, you need to thoroughly study Slackware's init system if you want to modify it, I think.
