Rather than copying, you should try symlinks. For situations like this, they're much more reliable, and the preferred method. When a change is made to one, it's also being made to the other, because they're the same file. This way, no matter what file is read, the contents will always be the same. ln -s /etc/conf.modules /etc/modules.conf (or the other way around) ln -s /etc/modules.conf /etc/conf.modules Don Head [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Linux Mentor, LCA, Network+ [1 314 692-1942] Wave Technologies, Inc.
