Here is the URL to the message I was referring to: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=338322+340981+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-stable/20011007.freebsd-stable I can not check the sources for the snapshot I used because I have already cvsupped the latest STABLE sources which of course has the correct versions of the files for the dirpref changes. -- Glenn Johnson glennpj@charter.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
