To "repopulate" it would require re-crunching a fat executable and remaking all the links (or just copying it over the same inode and preserving the hard links). This process is onerous and non-intuitive enough for me to deem /stand a one-time hack and if it weren't also such an occasionally useful hack, I'd remove /stand post-installation time and not even advertise it :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
