We are all humans only. Paul did follow all of this, he's been asking in -current before, and he had his change peer-reviewed, as you can see in the log message: revision 1.3 date: 1996/02/23 17:57:32; author: pst; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1 If a .db file is 0 length, initialize it as if it did not exist. Reviewed by: wollman Nevertheless, once used on much more than two machines, the real problems with it started popping up. You can hardly blame Paul for this accident, even though the consequences were fatal for a number of people. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
