Excellent! I'm glad we got that straight :) So, Niclas, just to get this thread directed towards a more productive closure, in a previous post of yours you wrote: % Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2006 12:22:53 +0100 % From: Niclas Zeising <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> % Subject: Re: cvs commit: % doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/security chapter.sgml % To: Marc Fonvieille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> % CC: Johann Kois <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED], % Giorgos Keramidas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, cvs-all@freebsd.org, % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % % Okay.

If you are going to work on this, it would be nice to know, so we avoid duplication of work by 2 or more prople for the same relatively trivial change. - Giorgos _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
