I think you're going after John rather unfairly over this considering that it was he who had his mind rudely changed by a veritable tide of complaints when he himself suggested (and very much wanted) that ldconfig be terminated with extreme prejudice. I also don't see bringing up the SVR4 rc/init as anything more than a complete non-sequitur invoked, for some bizarre reason, in defense of your cause. John's willingness or unwillingness has nothing to do with it here and he made that quite plain in his original reply. He's already taken the heat over this issue once and he doesn't want to take heat over it it again, period. Since you're not paying him anything, you have no leverage to get him to willingly suffer pain for little perceived gain and screaming about it in the mailing lists will merely get you procmailed by he and anyone else who's tired of listening to screams. Not that being procmailed would be much of a new experience for you, Kaleb, so that's probably not much of a threat. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
