I can understand this, but you should probaly document that it is not a replacement for suidmanager, but more of a tool that gets rid of the need for it in the package's config scripts. We don't want people doing s/suidmanager/dpkg-statoverride/ in the package scripts, they should generally be able to remove it altogether :) Ben -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
