Nice idea and work, but (as always), I have a few nits. Your use of temporary files may be a problem - if someone went and ln -s'd them to /etc/passwd, you'd have a slight problem. Also, I think using perl might be a better idea - if you don't mind, I'll convert your idea to perl and send it back to you - this way you don't have to deal with temporary files and or spawn off find, sed, &c for various function that are pretty much built into perl. In any case, good work. Neil -- Neil Blakey-Milner nbm@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
