What remains to mention is that the user *IDs* must be fixed if I am mistaken. This makes a system-passwd package basically useless. It doesn't help us if there is a mysql user if it hasn't the proper ID - that is it will work well for self-built packages but not for the bindist. >Any volunteers? :-) *cough* Vol... what is that? :-) Max -- ----------------------------------------------- Max Horn Software Developer email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: (+49) 6151-494890 _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
