No, too hard to rebase back. v14.9.4 will arrive this week, if i finally find some time (also the last sunny days here in Germany, we expect weather breakdown hourly..).

I think FreeBSD does not even have /usr/local by default, and iirc DragonFlyBSD just recently started creating /usr/local via mtree, i think, i do not know whether that change is already released or not. In earlier times /usr/local was there from the start i believe to remember. The dotlock program could only be replaced with a daemon permanently running, and with root privileges, which is nothing anyone would accept for mail(x) creating dotlock files. Ciao! P.S.: i do not even know if OpenSMTPD actively uses dotlock files, but there was code to clean them up once i have looked last. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
