If you prefer a system that does things differently, why not use that system? If you'd prefer to see FreeBSD do something differently, why not spend an hour or two to develop the feature that you want and submit it to the FreeBSD core team for possible integration in a future release? -- Greg Black <gjb@acm.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
