http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html shows the 'cvs update' command being run by root ("#" shell prompt), and I wouldn't expect any non-root user to have write permission to /usr/src anyway. So... why is doing the cvs-update as root a bad idea? ciao, -- -- "Jonathan Thornburg [remove -animal to reply]" <jth...@astro.indiana-zebra.edu> Dept of Astronomy & IUCSS, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA currently on the west coast of Canada "There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.
