Full agreement. > By giving advice like "sudo <whatever>", we are. I have been saying 'sudo' since HP-UX 9.0 days. I am pretending that the user is on a reasonably configured Unix system or will know how to get there and gently nudging them to improve their system if they need that nudge. It isn't the default on HP-UX either. But if admins hear it being talked-up then they will install and configure it. It is very easy. I have little idea how recent additions to the family such as cousins Ubuntu, gNewSense, Maemo, Grml, Embedian, and others are configured and rarely think about them. They are off topic for this mailing list. Bob
