Anytime. One of the goals of the project is to increase adoption of the
djb process supervision model through accessibility. I've done 3 personal
installs of runit, and the sore point is the lack of pre-built scripts.
Doing it once is a good learning experience, doing it three times is just a
needless chore.
I'm still in the process of getting a build of s6 going, mostly because I'm
still getting my head wrapped around the /package directory concept, and
getting the builds to play nice with it.

Some thoughts:
sshd is confirmed as working using the template system from the project.
So this implies it's something about the difference in environment (which
makes sense, they're two different installs). I have to wonder if there is
some implied state that isn't being declared and causing it to fail, but I
won't know until I look. For all I know, it could be something as simple
as PATH not being set to something it needs.
winbind is confirmed as working although I don't use it at the moment. You
should be able to start it without smbd or nmbd. I do recall that it was
"picky".
kdm I don't have experience with, yet. If I get ambitious I'll haul it out
and try to crank out a script for kdm this weekend. X display managers are
a tough one, the modern ones have lots of little moving parts that have to
be there. The old ones (wdm, xdm) don't give a care and usually come right
up.
rsyncd: also on the to-do list in the project. I'll give it some attention.

If you can get me a list of services you're putting emphasis into, it would
help me prioritize some of the 1,000+ services I have to write ;-)

I won't get time today or this evening, but I'll try to carve out a little
time this weekend and look at what's going on.
