I see what you mean but I wanted to avoid changing /rc/bin/cpurc so that it could stay the way it was distributed and updated as if it was never touched.[*] In addition to that, I also wanted the play around with namespaces (hence the subject of the e-mail). All in all, the traditional way of doing this isn't that different: both have an extra directory containing the services; in one case, listening is done using that directory, in the other case, listening is done as usual but with an "overlay". I have to admit however, that the traditional way of doing it is cleaner (easier to understand, more transparant).

I agree but as I'm trying to understand the mechanisms, the questions I had still remain: - Why is it that, when the namespace is changed in /cfg/$sysname/cpurc, it does not seem to be taken into account by the aux/listen in /rc/bin/cpurc? - Why can't a modified rc/bin/service.auth not be bound via /cfg/$sysname/namespace? Has it something to do with user none versus user bootes or so? > - erik -- Frank Lenaerts ---------------------------------------- fr...@inua.be
