You're better off removing the packages. By just removing the accounts and files, the next time you apply a patch that touches those packages, the files will be recreated -- and you won't even know about it. Or you can remove the files every time you apply patches. If you have a lot of hosts (my team manages about 250 Sun boxes), you want to keep the amount of repetitive work to a minimum, just remove the packages, better yet set up your jumpstart scripts to not install them in the first place. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Web: http://www.komquats.com and http://www.bcbodybuilder.com FreeBSD UNIX: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org BC Government: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Lift long enough and I believe arrogance is replaced by humility and fear by courage and selfishness by generosity and rudeness by compassion and caring." -- Dave Draper
