What I see in the future is some sort of runtime configuration to determine if chown is to use the '.' as a group seperator. Maybe a defaults file /etc/defaults/chown (like SVR4) or a sysctl variable user.chown.use_dot and the default be the current behavior, but that in our site, we would change the default. - JimP -- --- @(#) $Id: dot.signature,v 1.10 2001/05/17 23:38:49 Jim.Pirzyk Exp $ __o Jim.Pirzyk@disney.com ------------- pirzyk@freebsd.org _'\<,_ Senior Systems Engineer, Walt Disney Feature Animation (*)/ (*) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
