Ken, Love the idea as stated. 'Nuff said. > The catch is, of course, the reliable generation of the serial number > files. That's where existing practice on ftp-master makes this hard. > <Asbestos garment on> How about a "built in rule" like if no serial number file "DONT TRANSFER THE MODULE". That way if I'm updating say 5.2-RELEASE iso's or something, I just rm the serial number file for that module, update the stuff needing changes, then when done create the serialno file & the ites will get it on the next sync. <Asbestos garment off> > Is this a good idea?

I'm behind you 109% the other 1% I reserve because I'm busy... :) Ty Ftp14.freebsd.org admin. -- *************************************************************************** * Ty Hoeffer -- IS Net Engineer -- UVa.
