what do you mean by "have to be"? on my system the only thing that is using them is openca, and six different openca installations are using six different openca modules installations. the openca installations are not the whole system, i've got the usual basic stuff on my laptop, more than a dozen daemons, a copy of my work in several projects, and none of it is using the openca modules. different people have different needs. looking around at project meetings, i must admit that i'm not typical.

This is it. fortunately we don't have to, because nowadays this is taken care of by the operating system. (i've programmed an MS-DOS filesystem in user space for my first unix box, but that was in the late 80s...) rj _______________________________________________ OpenCA-Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openca-devel
