Not that I'm having any problems but agree /etc/defaults/ should not be changed. Hmm. An idea for mergemaster: display a caution that /etc/defaults/ files should not be changed from the distribution version when diffs are found. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
