I tried making several dot-files I found in my home directory unreadable (or unsearchable, in case of a directory): acrorc, antrc, bashrc, cvsrc, fetchmailrc, inputrc, licq, mozilla, psqlrc, rpmmacros, Xmodmap, xemacs, xmms. Bash gave me warning, fetchmail gave me an error (which is reasonable, because fetchmail doesn't work without configuration), and the rest just ignored the file. Open password and private key files might give different results, but as far as unreadable files go, I say ignore them. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
