Sounds like it would be fine to have three files, you just shouldn't use /etc/make.conf.local as the name of that third file. Your site's own /etc/make.conf (with "local to your site" changes) could include logic to pick up "machine-specific" settings via some other filename. Maybe /etc/make.conf.hostname, or /etc/hostdefs/make.conf I'm not quite sure what filename is best, I'm just saying that you should be able to get the flexibility you want even though we "choke" on /etc/make.conf.local (just to catch those people who don't realize these first two files have been moved around) --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
