Things like nss_ldap (which is used *heavily* at my place of employment) are some reasons that FreeBSD doesn't make it into more places. It was the reason why FreeBSD isn't being used here. Calling them 'tricks' (and succumbing to the name calling you wanted to avoid) doesn't change the fact that every major contender (IRIX, Solaris, Linux to name a few) all support this feature set. -gordon --Hjg+pC/5+IEur/Yc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/us1ZRu2t9DV9ZfsRAh3CAJ9Kzz6yr65aM+dWY53p8SZ5+Q6X6wCeIeTw 8LmEZp5OzgetkGt9AWwqmwU= =PD3F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Hjg+pC/5+IEur/Yc--
