If those FreeBSD losers would just adopt Netinfo for all this kind of information, there would already be a central datastore and an API for writing to it! :-) OK, sorry, too much crack this morning. Seriously, this sort of thing would be good - the lack of a programmatic interface for writing fstab entries has been commented on and complained about before. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-libh" in the body of the message
