the reason I would prefer -Y is that its ( well, the man page says anyway ) more secure than -X. Also, these days a lot of admins will disable -X functionality on machines. Have not come across anywhere -Y didnt work ( and the host OS was installed in the last 5 years ). I am not doubting that -X will mostly work, but perhaps we should be promoting the idea of -Y a bit more. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
