 No, native applications (for example, shell scripts) will also receive SIGHUP
at the end of boot process if they don't daemonize themself (note that going
to background != daemon(3)). Fortunately, we have daemon(8) utility now. So
I've replaced '/etc/ppp/start &' with 'daemon /etc/ppp/start' everywhere to
get rid of this annoying SIGHUPs.

Sincerely, Dmitry
