Yep. I've seen patches for this at MIT, but I don't think they're in the mainline... You've also got some potentially major access control problems; look at what freebsd does, and consider that you *don't* want general access -- you want a special case of people being able to read and diff and submit the diffs *through* some auditors... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
