>Number: 6785 >Category: bin >Synopsis: place for all the default dump flags >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: change-request >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri May 29 11:00:01 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Mikhail Teterin >Organization: Virtual Estates, Inc. >Release: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386 >Environment: >Description: When using dump(8) indirectly (such as through Amanda) it is often inconvenient/hard to alter flags like ``h'' on command line. Something like /etc/dump.conf and/or DUMPFLAGS env variable would allow to alter dump's default behaviour without recompilations. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: If this is not "a bad idea which will never make it into FreeBSD", I can try myself in adding this in. If there is something like this in other OSes, please, tell me... >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
