If local is not really local, why call it local? This would imply that /usr/local/etc/ would be availible to DTRT for these kinds of cases, but everything else goes into /opt. I actually don't like "/opt" since it clashes with things that Solaris has done, but I'm coming to see why having all of this stuff in /usr/local/ is becoming silly or difficult in clustered configurations. >-- >Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com >Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
