Now that we have login.conf this is pretty much a dead issue isn't it? Why heavily customize the kernel config file, when you can do it with login.conf? In fact the stock login.conf already has a "news" class for news server. I'm already working on removing all the customizations out of my kernel config files, in order to use the more generic login.conf system. Besides the login.conf allows these to be set on a user by user basis. You can't do this with the kernel config. This is real important with dual-use servers. Tom
