First, replace /bin/sh with ksh93. This will require minor twiddling with /etc/rc*. I think the `only' issue is use of the `local' in function definitions. But then again I haven't looked at it very closely. Then rewrite all the perl scripts. ksh93 programming is much advanced over ksh88 or other shells. Korn thinks that it is in the same category as Perl or Python. I don't agree with the latter from what I've seen, but "You've come a long way, baby," is appropriate. Then have flamewar here :-) -- Jacques Vidrine / n@nectar.com / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
