Hi,

when cleaning up filesystem.rpm, I found two directories which nothing seems to use them anymore and where I don't know for what they are good:

- /etc/sysconfig/scripts - I couldn't find any reference to this

My machine is old, and it has: Telcontar:~ # l /etc/sysconfig/scripts total 60 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 12 2019 ./ drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Aug 9 21:40 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2688 Mar 17 2019 SuSEfirewall2-batch -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3361 Aug 19 2012 SuSEfirewall2-custom* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3197 Jun 9 2013 SuSEfirewall2-custom.12.3.default -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4288 Dec 26 2005 SuSEfirewall2-custom.old* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3675 Jan 12 2008 SuSEfirewall2-custom~* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3036 Mar 17 2019 SuSEfirewall2-oldbroadcast -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1405 Mar 17 2019 SuSEfirewall2-open -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5066 Mar 17 2019 SuSEfirewall2-qdisc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4995 Mar 17 2019 SuSEfirewall2-rpcinfo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2786 Mar 17 2019 SuSEfirewall2-showlog Telcontar:~ # Of course, a tumbleweed machine will not have that, but it explains what it was used for :-)

- /etc/sysconfig/network/providers - seems to be used by smpppd for T-DSL a very long time ago.
