Seems a very trivial extension of the current pkg-user hint. Also, I fail to understand what the benefit is with this extension. You are already giving the pkg user privilege to install files in the standard directories (such as /bin /sbin). What would be achieved by not allowing it to install something in /etc/rc.d? -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
