I am not sure if we *do* want this to work though, regardless of what other operating systems do. -giorgos --2oS5YaxWCcQjTEyO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7NVOkzk2rLMllOhwRAuoBAKCLCdGMgmxG5Kq+mux3GY95LiomIgCeOZ+s J9GSP1xadJwyF2HH2zIeUTA= =psWw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2oS5YaxWCcQjTEyO-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
