I haven't installed a single FreeBSD (or for that matter any *nix) system in the last 8 years where sudo wasn't one of the first things I put onto it. > Yes, it is available as a port, but in a similar fashion of for example, > isn't sudo important enough to be included as an imported tool in the > base system? Usually I've installed it as a package off the install CD, before the system is even booted the first time. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@tikitechnologies.com Tiki Technologies Lead Programmer/Software Architect "My own personal theory is that this is the very dawn of the world. We're hardly more than an eyeblink away from the fall of Troy, and scarcely an interglaciation removed from the Altamira cave painters. We live in extremely interesting ancient times. I like this idea. It encourages us to be earnest and ingenious and brave, as befits ancestral peoples; but keeps us from deciding that because we don't know all the answers, they must be unknowable and thus unprofitable to pursue." -- Teresa Nielsen Hayden, 1995
