I doubt that it will ever be in the base, since the chances of me having commit privileges are very very small. :) Besides, I'd much rather see a system that includes stuff from the ports rather than adding more bloat to the base, even if I happen to feel that it's useful bloat. > but I wish there was an option to point out files in the live /etc that weren't > in the prototype one ... I will put this option on the list, the problem is that a system like this will generate a lot of "warnings" for files that really do belong, and I'd hate for people to delete something they shouldn't. :-/ > and that it was smarter dealing with pwd.db and spwd.db I considered this, but what exactly do you want it to do? There are good arguments for several different courses of action, and frankly I couldn't decide which to do. Also, I felt that there were some files that warranted individual attention, and the password files fall into that category. I do welcome suggestions though.
