I did an emerge rsync earlier today prior to mergeing openssh-2.9_p2-r2, right
after you updated it.  But I just did another one for good measure.  Anyway, I
thought you had told me earlier to do openssh-2.0_p2 (without the r2) but that
may have been my spongy brain cells.  So I did an emerge on openssh-2.9_p2-r2,
which gave me this:

================
mazer openssh # emerge openssh-2.9_p2-r2.ebuild 
Calculating dependencies.

!!! Portage had a problem processing this file:
!!! /usr/portage/net-misc/openssh/openssh-2.9_p2-r2.ebuild

/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/net-misc/openssh/openssh-2.9_p2-r2.ebuild:
line 57: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/portage/net-misc/openssh/openssh-2.9_p2-r2.ebuild:
line 57: `}'

!!! aborting.

!!! emerge aborting.
================

Just for the hell of it, I also did an emerge on 'openssh-2.0_p2', which
failed the same way it did earlier, which gave me this:

================

And, of course, the init scripts don't actually work as
/etc/rc.d/config/functions doesn't exist.  Nor does /usr/sbin/rc-update, but I
guess that doesn't matter.  Right?

What is the current status with init scripts?  I understand they're in
considerable flux these days.  For example, which location is correct for the
'functions' file?  /etc/rc.d/config/functions or /etc/init.d/functions.sh?

Thanks,
Ben
