I would think something needs to export the new value into /etc/news/servers. Since it is not possible to reconfigure running news servers anyway. What is needed is a dependency information and a generation script. i.e. which generation script needs to be run if which variable is changed. The generation script is then regenerating the configuration files. The question is, if the regeneration procress is allowed to overwite local changes or not.. hmm.. SuSE is overwriting all local changes, its cool to be able to configure the whole system with one tool, but its lame to try to do modifications without that tool (and still be able to use the tool (including the package manager)) Greetings Bernd -- (OO) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ( .. ) [EMAIL PROTECTED],linux.de,debian.org} http://home.pages.de/~eckes/ o--o *plush* 2048/93600EFD [EMAIL PROTECTED] +497257930613 BE5-RIPE (O____O) If privacy is outlawed only Outlaws have privacy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
