We don't want to read RFCs or such professional sysadmin red books... Sometimes we just want to nfs-mount things on the same machine. One more example: I don't like /var/news so I mount locally /var/news to /archive/news on the same system instead of using symlinks. My rc.local manages it for me. But, is it really so difficult to move portmap to /sbin. Why? Linux have portmap in /sbin and it runs. regards, -- Jean Louis Ntakpe Texas Instruments - Freising Wafer Fab Automation Group Haggerty Str. 1 85350 Freising Telefon +49 (8161) 80-3816 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
