Re: /stand still useful?
2006/10/19, Nick Guenther [EMAIL PROTECTED]: So getting back on topic, what is /stand for then? It's a tricky thing to google for, but the hints I've seen make it sound as just a secondary /bin. Is that about right? That's what the man page suggests. But when is it actually used? A typical installation just leaves it empty. Best Martin PS: How do you google for it?

I am continually amazed by the people who run OpenBSD who don't take this advice. I always expected a smarter class. I guess not.

I am continually amazed by the people who can't grasp the complexities of subscribing to a mailing list. If you don't want duplicate emails from the list, then configure your procmail or whatever to discard duplicate emails. Putting stupid demands on the end of your email isn't going to change how mailing lists work. Why do you think you deserve special effort from everyone else when you could solve your problem yourself? Adam
