Interesting. I've always viewed usr EXCEPT for local this way. In fact, on most of my boxes I create a seperate mount point for /usr/local so it's easier to backup and maintain, and it doesn't fill up the /usr directory. Asking for everything in a directory with the name local in it to be shared is kind of counter intuitive to me. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
