So I can't see why this is a required option for this machine. >> end of "Re: portupgrade -rf gettext -m BATCH=yes fails at gnomemeeting stage" from Stacey Roberts << And I assume these are all machines you set up? The whole point of /nonexistent is that it *doesn't exist*. People can't log in as a user if there's no home directory. Really, it sounds like you shouldn't use the systems there as your comparison point. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adam@vectors.cx // adamw@FreeBSD.org // adamw@magnesium.net http://www.vectors.cx
