hmm... i could't figure out what the problem was. Debian considers files on /etc as conffiles - maybe the emtpy one existed and got not updated with the "new" one from 5.0.0 (as it is intended to not overwrite it) - IMHO another reason to initialize the defaults in the main-script. another argument to include a default values initialization in the main script: maybe somebody deletes a line in mtx-changer.conf and then screws up the main script because of the missing line. - Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
