Exactly. So we're forever stuck with software that does not follow sane versioning, and because it's security software its developers more or less have the entire open source community over a barrel while they change things in ways that regularly cause breakage for everyone else. After all, *they* don't need to care; it works for them, we're (the entire open source community!) unwanted hangers-on. -- brandon s allbery [email protected] wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
