Sure your average admin may be conversant with 0 and 1, but your actual script runs it on 1, and does not otherwise. I'd suggest that the comment read 'Set RUN_PORTMAP=1 to run, or otherwise to not run' or make the test something like: test -z $RUN_PORTMAP && exit 0 # with appropriate comment. If we're trying to make things easier/more configurable, which i love as an idea, we shouldn't take half steps. -m -- Michael Urman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gpg: 1024g/55C56706 : C3D7 2A8F 6261 3DE4 F544 6DC3 A1D5 BEF6 156F 65A4 <mwr#debian> bsd is also responsible for porn nets, then, too?
