I was just wondering if there is any consensus on adding BSDStats to the=20 base system? If would appear to be a logical step to take so as to insure=20 that all users of FBSD would be counted. An end user could always disable=20 the sending of data by disabling it in the /etc/rc.file. I feel that unless= =20 it is part of the base system and turned on by default, too many users will= =20 never take part in the reporting process. Also, there does not appear to be a 'man' page for BSDStats. Is that=20 correct? Perhaps there should be one. Just my 2=A2. =2D-=20 Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net Be cheerful while you are alive.
