But what is a sane default? I can patch any file I'd like to, but my preference is to patch as little as possible, as I'm trying to be generic here. I can't assume Red Hat 8 in the source RPM, and my binaries are to be preferred only if the distributor doesn't have updated ones. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
