If there is nothing wrong, why were so many people having problems all of a sudden? I would say the lack of the login.conf in /etc was a 'problem'... the changing of the /usr/include structure was also a 'problem'... Look, I am not out to bitch about FreeBSD... I think its an incredible project. But thats not to say there are some minor glitches here and there, and always room for improvment... I have been following 2.2-RELENG for a couple of months now, with almost weekly updates. I ran into problems when I skipped a few weeks. The big one being the changing of the /usr/include tree. I try and read the main lists almost religiously.. But its easy to miss a post that details a change to the tree structure.... Now, if there was a README file of some sort included with the cvsup process, detailing any manual interventions necessary in the make world process, this would help avoid situations like this. But blindling blaming the user saying there is nothing wrong doesnt help matters, nor is it correct... ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) *
