I'll probably cvsup this weekend and update it > to 4.7-STABLE, so let me know if it doesnt work. Whatever the problem was, it is gone after my new world/kernel from just now has been rebooted and installed. Mergemaster made no changes at all and auth.conf still looks like it ever did. So I really don't know what the problem was, bad cvsup or a bug, which has been fixed intermittently. Either way, thanks for your help Ramsey, Erick and whoever fixed the bug. :-) Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
