Writting to that file will bring curses on your head as it does not belong to your package, so you are not allowed to touch it with your installation; however you are allowed, iirc, to provide a update-etc-profile script, or somethign alike to do that and some explanation in /usr/share/doc/yourpack -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
