If you translate `rarely' into `not for most of the installations', so: yes. I suspect that most of the installations serve standalone machines, maybe sitting in a network of other machines, but often not with other FreeBSD machines. > Or, to put it another way, which directory should be used for > NFS exporting, if not /usr/local? Maybe /opt? :-) /home? /usr/X11R6? /usr/share? There are too many possibilites to make `generic' assumptions. I agree however that the standard install might ask whether it should move /usr/local/etc (and/or /usr/X11R6/etc) out to /etc/local (or /etc/X11R6). But first i'm waiting for Jordan's new `setup' tool (projected new name for the sysinstall successor). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
