It is supposed to create a named pipe (~/.signature) and wait for an application to read from the pipe. It allows to have a random signature on every mail. On 4.x and on 5-current from last year it works as expected. But since the end of the last year or the begin of this year it doesn't anymore. gensig daemonizes itself fills the named pipe and then terminates. The content of the named pipe stays the same for every mail (no wonder, gensig is gone). Bye, Alexander. -- Speak softly and carry a cellular phone. http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net GPG fingerprint = C518 BC70 E67F 143F BE91 3365 79E2 9C60 B006 3FE7 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
