FWIW, I agree with you, Paul. But, I'd aleo like to gently remind you that you prolly can get your hands on the sources and edit them appropriately :-). Depending on what distro you have, you might want to check its history to see what version of util-linux stuff you have installed. Yes, I know Paul's running Debian, but please bear with me - I am NOT trying to start another Distribution debate, merely point out something for those who might not be aware of it. Red Hat had/has a marvelous habit of splitting the components of util-linux into two or more different RPMs. My SuSE 7.3 system runs util-linux-2.11i-10 and my SuSE 8.0 system runs util-linux-2.11n-75. There have been no updates to either package, at least on SuSE's support web page, so either that's the latest, or anything later than what was shipped with each release is good enough that there have been no earth-shattering security or functional problems to warrant an update. Salving Stallman's ego hardly qualifies, IMNSHO. On both systems: # uname --version uname (GNU sh-utils) 2.0 Written by David MacKenzie. Copyright (C) 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
