   Good ${greeting_time}, Benny!

   This example wasn't intended for idiots. However, nothing prevents idiots to   
   implement it in their usual manner.

   As binkd is supposed to be run by different users, it has nothing to do with   
   openrc or any other init scripts.

   It seems like you are trying to look even more stupid than you really are.   
   Rather you don't: someone may believe you.
