This is generally not a good idea; there are too many ways for it to go wrong, because it's not designed to be edited that way. (Linux can do it not because the files are different but because the systemwide versions of the files specifically check for additional settings files; OS X doesn't do this and editing Apple's startup files is not a good idea because the worst case failure mode is you run Software Update and thereafter no longer can log in.) -- brandon s allbery [email protected] wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
