Have you actually read through the entire RC file yet? The idea would be to collect the crap, inspect the crap, then delete the crap...

Just like having Exchange and using a public message box/forum - do you want your wife to CC you on email funnies, or you to CC her on them? Why not dump them into a public folder that everyone in the house can access so that you're not necessarily CC'ing everyone that you live with - helps to cut down unnecessary email traffic, ya reckon? I've got public folders that I copy stuff to for legal purposes - so the wife and look at them or refer back to them for accounting/business reasons... > How does that work?

If you setup proper cron jobs, they run at boot - and why even bother to reboot a unix/linux box anyways? stephen kuhn ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * ----------------------------------------------------------------- There are few people more often in the wrong than those who cannot endure to be thought so.
