Unfortunetly patches like this don't address the problem of a user accidentally upgrading to a version he doesn't want. For a patch to address that see: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=28213+0+archive/2001/freebsd-arch/20010325.freebsd-arch -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
