It think it is a business choice, pure and simple. If you drop binary groups to cut volume, you're right. The tone of the discussion here, however, is "these are groups I think poorly of, and this is how I can get rid of them to cut the volume without getting in trouble". If you want to drop groups because you think they're not cost effective, feel free --- it's outside the scope of this list. What is in the scope is discussing how to configure FreeBSD so it can economically handle the load. Personally, I don't have time, nor the right, to decide what's good, bad or indifferent, and the discussion of it certainly doesn't belong here. -- Alan Batie ______ It's not my fault!
