Sorry if I made you think i am trying to use the FreeBSD CVS setup for non-FreeBSD stuff. The reason for mkdir and add is adding new commands, that should be checked in (hopefully). To the curious: Some native ports of certain DPT admin commands. I am putting them in /usr/src/usr.sbin/dpt/dpt_some_command. Yes, they buiold and run fine. Yes, they will be on the next patch. Yes, I am moving the ftp server to a 7x24 T1 connected host. ---------- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG Voice: 503.799.2313
