Sounds like you have a couple of Gentoo boxes there. You may want to look into a recent feature that was added. /etc/make.conf now supports the source keyword like shell scripts. You can have a network wide make.conf that you include on all your hosts. Then override whatever needs it. That's all the input I have since I know nothing about afs. --Iggy >TIA. > > > -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
