If one places the directory entries in each package's content file, there is no atomic update problem other than handling conflicting attributes. The latter is only important when producing the single legacy /var/sadm/install/contents view; using date order of individual contents files would prob. work to produce a contents file that matched the file system. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts
