I'd vote for making these relative too ;*) I don't think these are as important as it's pretty rare that a person needs to change /etc/termcap these days, and even more rare that they would want to change /etc/rmt. People with removable disks might want to configure them on one system and then attach them to another, and part of that configuration might be to set up a nameserver. It would be an easy mistake to change /mnt/etc/namedb/named.conf, ship the disk, then find out that you've just broken the machine you configured from... -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
