For the record, I found Steve's argument convincing, but indeed, you'd have to stop shy of shipping files in that path. You *could*, however, query for the tftp root and symlink files there, although I don't know if tftp servers follow symlinks. I'm not horribly fond of shipping files in /var/lib either, but... there aren't a lot of great options here, I understand. It's very similar to the problem with configuring web applications. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
