My /home, /usr/local, /usr/ports, : /compat, /usr/src among others are all on a Adaptec SlimSCSI AHA-1460 : (aic). Hmmm. I don't want to move logger as well. I'm thinking that it would be better to have pccardd do the syslog stuff always (or never depending on the config file) and that would make it easier to move to /sbin. In addition, this will make the pccard.conf file smaller, amking it easier for the 130 new entries taht are going into it to fit.
