Well another question -- is it possible teach somehow mergemaster, that it should never touch passwd, groups, /etc/ttys or bunch of another files? About pre-script which you suggested, there is another problem -- I MAY have new scripts in /etc/rc.d, but NEVER change the system's scripts. In other hand running rm /etc/rc.d/* before mergermaster's start can render system unusable, if mergemaster will fail for some reason. -- Gaspar Chilingarov System Administrator, Network security consulting t +37493 419763 (mob) i 63174784 e nm@web.am w http://zanazan.am/
