As a side note, many linux distros have been pushing to get rid of monolithic configurations because of packaging. I know Fedora and RHEL6(beta) now have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ which really makes me happy. And now, with the 'upstart' service I don't need to modify /etc/inittab and xinetd has long since had a directory for includes. I wish IPtables had built in functionality for this process. I have a custom bcfg2 setup which handles it server-side instead. -- Jonathan Billings <billi...@negate.org> _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
