If so, what's the timeline, and will they be | backwards-compatible with exisiting installations IE /etc/namedb/* | /etc/mail/* ? I didn't 'hear' anything yet but it's sure a good idea. I am not the one who is gonna do that but I can authoritatively say that sendmail is sendmail whether from the ports or the base system. Ditto BIND. Those ports guys never break things willingly and through my looking glass, I can see that they will keep the current locations for the config files. So I'd expect that sendmail config files will remain in /etc/mail while BIND will have its file in /etc/namedb. That's already backwards compatibility, no?? -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Wananchi Online Ltd., wash@wananchi.com 1st Flr Loita Hse.
