This sounds like a bad idea to me: - We keep usr partitions untouched and don't back them up at all (some of the machines aren't backed up at all, they can be 1-1 reinstalled with rdist by only adding installation machine to roots rhosts). - local trees are duplicated with combination of rdist and symlinks. usr partitions I would like to keep static and read-only. I would rather see the stuff in /usr/local/bin, or /usr/local/X11R6/bin, I don't know which would be the best place. Now I have installed X programs in /usr/local/bin. >How-To-Repeat: cd ports/xcdplayer; make ; make install >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
