Having looked into base-files, the only file that seems to be at issue in any form is nsswitch.conf - so, in quick summary, does NetBSD:
A) Use this file at all? B) Support the 'compat' entries (the only major difference between the tarball and the distributed file). Once this is resolved, base-files should become available. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
