Which in reality means that for those more experienced admins the use of NOINUSE_CHECK will become reality - in the end you will probably find root accounts and scripts which uses that variable. While I can understand and appreciate idiot proof functionality I really do not like when one is left without a choice to possibly shoot its own leg. And I do not understand why you put non-public and undocumented feature but actually implemented it as it's needed sometimes. Either force flag should be implemented or this env variable should be public (and documented). -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
