Worse still, upgrade becomes problematic: if these things are just specified as scripts, with users encouraged to hack away, then it's really not possible to "fix" anything that a user may have modified if we discover a bug in the original script. I agree that calling out to external scripts is maximally flexible, but be careful: a lot of future cost comes with that flexibility. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
