I don't think this is true. OpenBSD doesn't use pkgsrc, and the pkg_ tools on OpenBSD have been very seriously (and wonderfully) rewritten by Marc Espie. NetBSD (at least as of 2.1.0, the latest version on which I have an account) is not using Espie's tools. > I just asked because this behaviour is not documented > on the man pages ... I have found that the man pages that come with packages describe pretty accurately how they function on my OpenBSD machines. (Before anyone jumps in about my use of `pretty,' I qualify the claim only because I am a shallow user who cannot speak with any real authority on these matters.) Picking two packages that I use frequently and searching their man pages, I find the location of each of muttrc and screenrc to be documented clearly. cheers, -b
