Wait, hold on... if the purpose of @sample is to automatically create real.conf files and delete them when appropriate, without end-user intervention, then end-users should never be interacting with .sample files in the first place. The goal shouldn't be properly-named .sample files, it should be never clobbering conf files and ensuring that end-users never have to copy sample files themselves. @sample should strive to always be MORE permissive, not LESS! # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org http://www.adamw.org
