Well, that's probably overly precise enough to require customing anyway. However, it should be fairly easy for you to add hooks into a /usr/local/etc/rc.conf for it. F'r'instance, my .tcshrc (on my website) checks for both .tcshrc.`hostname -s` and .tcshrc.`hostname` (though the strings are determined differently for portability) for local settings, so I can share my $HOME across multiple machines and have different env variables and aliases without making a bunch of unreadable conditionals in the file. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
