   If a variable is defined for which no default exists, warn user (Scholli.)
   Avoid a silent failure when giving non-existent run commands (Marcus.)
 
+Possible problems
+  Abstract syntax of rc.file identifiers
+    Need to recognize language syntax, i.e. set, block von XML?
+    Is a regex enough to describe a syntax or do we need more?
+    Cases XML, M4, asn.1, ...
+
 Automated environment
-  Solve problem discussed at OpenPKG eval meeting.
+  Stock rc.func includes AddPath, DelPath, PermMask.
+  Reccommended .bashrc includes rcEnter() and rcExit().
 
 Error handling
   Classic error, give 'restart' command in place of 'start' to stopped prog
