IMHO, this is more work to create users, watch if any security issue happend than put a dump somewhere. Think a xml mysql dump would be better because it don't enforce the use of mysql or any sql db, wouldn't it ? - b _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
