I would say the lack of the login.conf in /etc was a 'problem'... That's something entirely different. Mike's statement was related to the build process. login.conf is related to the execution environment. Note that a newly built and installed 2.2-stable of course should create /etc/login.conf, however upgrading using `make world' is supposed to never touch files in /etc. The upgrader is always responsible for doing this manually (has always been, and will be for at least quite some time, until a contributor steps forward with a sophisticated upgrade concept). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
