I'm not sure I see the difference between the two cases above. Also, I think this kind of query would be easier to implement if setup maintained a more comprehensive database of files keyed by the filename. I could whip up something quick and dirty, but let's first decide on whether to use the zlib library instead of calling gzip.exe -- that wasn't something I intended to be permanent. > Another interesting thing would be to do some ntsec/mkpasswd/mkgroup > type sanity checks or even to fix up common ntsec problems. > > cgf Yeah. At least have it check for the group name of "mkpasswd" or "mkgroup"... That, however, would require a separate flag, IMO.
