Since MSEC is installed by default, I think reasonably complete documentation (even an FAQ listing common modifications) is a must. How many times on this list is the answer along the lines of: "edit level.local" Perhaps mcc could at some point in the future include a GUI msec configurator... -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boy, that crayon sure did hurt!

I also realized that it was stat'ing lots of soft links into /auto causing over 250 attempted automounts. Heh, I can't have that. If I were a newbie, I'd be really annoyed right now. A relatively undocumented program that was automatically installed is automatically undoing all of my legitimate system changes without asking/informing me. Hell, I've been admin'ing/designing/building Linux servers for years and I didn't know what was going on.
