Actually, I've never understood what the in. was for, nor could I find
any explanation.  I did it as an experiment at first (when it ws still
devnull and I working on it) so that it wouldn't overwrite the other
daemons on my system.

I don't actually care what they're named, now that I'm using package
system.  They have, however, been this way for a long time now.
