I could, but that would have to be re-done on every upgrade of the package, and doing it on every machine where I'm likely to want to work in a root shell would be a pain at best - and doing it on just some of them would result in my tripping over the inconsistency when I happen to use one where it hasn't been done, which defeats the entire point. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
