May I discreetly open a can of worms and remind everyone of a very nice little utility one Matthew Dillon once offered for /bin? I still think it's worth, and, as I recall, I wasn't the only one. (In fact, I think I didn't even voice my opinion at the time...) I'm talking about cpdup, which can be found in http://www.backplane.com/FreeBSD/. Someone posted a port at the time, but I don't know if anyone ever committed the port. -- Daniel C.
