Of the few systems we (OSG) owns, we conform to the "OSG" standard. Each of the customers that I have inherited, e.g. they had an installed base of machines my team had not installed from scratch, have their own standards different from my standards and different from each other's standards. In a couple of cases it appears there are no standards whatsoever where in fact various standards used by these customers are an evolution of various standards used by various sysadmins and contractors who had worked at these customer sites over the years. In short, personally, I would like to think that my approach is the standard (or the right way to do it), however I would be in a state of delusion if I actually believed that. Before we roll up our sleeves and build this bikeshed, could we decide on its color please. My vote is green. :) Regards, Phone: (250)387-8437 Cy Schubert Fax: (250)387-5766 Team Leader, Sun/Alpha Team Email: Cy.Schubert@osg.gov.bc.ca Open Systems Group, ITSD Ministry of Management Services Province of BC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
