Come on, you guys -- make an effort, will ya?! 1. CVSup doesn't touch the /etc directory. 2. CVSup verifies the MD5 checksum of every file that it updates. 3. CVSup doesn't have a history of corrupting people's files. 4. On the other hand, there is a history of pure speculation similar to this thread, which only fuels more such nonsense, thank you very much. 5. If you really thought it was a CVSup bug, then why didn't you report it to cvsup-bugs@polstra.com? -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
