My preferred solution is to remove documentation from the config files entirely and move it somewhere else. I see no point in having the conf files INCLUDE the documentation or vice versa. My second choice would be to include Simon's script (or a flavor of that script) in the product and allow users to generate configuration files that have documentation in them. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
