"Permission denied" could imply that the rc scripts aren't set to executable. Possibly a umask problem? Additionally, mergemaster isn't a confusing mess. If anything, it's one of the most simple tools there is for managing /etc. The part you probably find "confusing", which is the same part I did when I started using it, is the side-by-side interactive diff. It's very easy to use; "r" means use the text shown on the right, and "l" means use the text shown on the left. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
