Well, I just asked egrep to look for the string 'rc.local' anywhere in a filename in /etc. And it found what look to me like a couple hidden mozilla files. In the list of names, not in the execution of the files.

That would be me, I'm afraid. IIRC, I thought I was logged into a different computer. It's a vague memory from a long time ago.

root@log:~# cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other

exit 0
