My *slight* hesitation in doing it would be that from my experience these knobs aren't a one-size-fits-all thing for people trying to debug stuff in production. So you sorta need to know a bit more about what you're doing when fiddling with them. Turning them all on is probably OK for a workstation user but less likely to be OK for a server admin. Some may want/need to add in KDB_UNATTENDED depending on their circumstances, etc. --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodor Geisel | --=-wIC/k1ayJsLMkn1msOta Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAk6cPkMACgkQ/G14VSmup/ZfTgCgkHNoPAY2pbKhsVOsJ+pVYab6 0TsAn19tx0AJv/BaeIEGptFGzmg7UzsK =1jvF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-wIC/k1ayJsLMkn1msOta--
