Not really. If you install a particular program that doesn't come with the OS on one machine on your site, why would you not want to install it separately on all of the others? Typically, I want my favourite non-OS utilities on all machines, not just one. (Even if I don't use them on all machines.) Thus /usr/local is for site-local stuff. cjs -- Curt Sampson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light. --XTC ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
