The difference is, that NFS and other stuff are operating system services. Other packages, like samba and inn, are add-on services. Look at Solaris 2, they did it the same way and I like it. Only the ease of use of the FreeBSD ports section was a reason for me, to have again a _huge_ /usr/local/bin directory with tons of utilities in one place. Otherwise I would have done my own kind of directory structure, as I described earlier. When you discussed the locations of samba, I thought it would be a good occasion to bring in the new idea. -- andreas@knobel.gun.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ - Support Unix - aklemm@wup.de - \/ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz apsfilter - magic print filter 4lpd >>> knobel is powered by FreeBSD <<<
