I don't know, but I had /tmp spontaneously change the other day, which is really impressive, because it is on a tmpfs filesystem. I have a feeling I did an install of a package recently. Perhaps dpkg stuffed up? I won't report a bug because I simply don't have any details. I'll wait and see if it becomes reproducable. -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ When some other esteemed editor reposts this, it'll be the Periodic Periodic Table Table story, and I will be even happier. ;^) -- Emil Brink on /., about the periodic table table. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
