Oh, ya got me! Oh! Oh! Yeah... config.sys... MUCH better... 8-) 8-). ...actually, I'd point at the sendmail and natd and other programs that can be replaced, and should probably be "installer's choice", rather than being named by application name in rc.conf. You'd have a better argument if these things were named by function, rather than by program name. I think, also, that if you look at Windows XP, you'll see that the per application data has been seperated into a per application configuration space, to keep it from breaking anything. That's more like a ".Xdefaults". I guess NIH beats an idea to death, even if the original implementation bears no resemblence to the current one. 8-p -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
