John, Hit that nail on the head and exactly what I was describing. Thing is, why does upstream and/or other distros do that? What is the reasoning? We should understand it if there is such a thing yet it appears many of us change it regardless. I do know a several people that are not aware of it when they do installs... and I have to remind or fix. - rh _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
