You didn't learn your Unix lessons very well. :-) What about cat /dev/nrst0 > /dev/null ? :-) Anyway, after merging the old st(8) functionality into mt(1), there are other reasons now to put mt(1) into the set of ``emergency recovery tools''. You can use it now to setup the parameters of a SCSI drive, and _this_ will be a showstopper if you need it and don't have it. /sbin is the wrong place. The command is a user command, and used to live under /usr/bin, so we should move it to /bin. Other opinions? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
