Daemons

Symlinks in the various rc boot directories (rc.boot, rcS.d,
rc0-6.d) can't point directly to binaries. They have to point to scripts,
which generally in turn start binaries. Of course, nothing will break if you
do this but it violates the Linux standards.

You shouldn't use rc.boot. Its use is deprecated and is only
for backwards compatibility while programs finish switching over to the
standards. rc.boot will probably be removed at some point. Use the normal
runlevel rc directories (rc2.d through rc5.d) for normal stuff, rcS.d for
stuff that will be started in EVERY runlevel, even single user mode (stuff
like SSH should NOT start in single user mode), rc0.d and rc6.d should be
used for stuff that needs to be run when shutting down or rebooting.
