Interesting. That is embedded in some gawk scripts, but don't install those. I've never noticed them before. That said, have you tested the scripts? I tried to follow them manually and I can't find the pages that are specified, either old or in the patch. Note that we do not install the gawk scripts at all. > These scripts are unusable now because IANA > changes addresses and formats of its data.

Wouldn't it just be easier to do a sed to the affected files when needed? We do that for rpcbind now: sed -i 's/^sunrpc/rpcbind/' /etc/services -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
