If you want to write a nifty editor for it, you have to now have _rules_ for clumping all the mountd_foo variables together in such a way that all "mountd attributes" are editable in a common block. 2. This does not deal *explicitly* with ordering issues unless it will be very well documented that the order in which startup commands are specified must be maintained (and then, of course, the aformentioned editor has another thing to remember in writing things back out). This would be true in your example since portmap, for one, needs to be run before mountd. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
