Hi Jeremy, I noticed that most all of the files in my old /etc/rc.d had 555 permissions. There were 4 or 5 that had 644 permissions in my old /etc/rc.d. What I am wondering is if all the files in rc.d should be 555? So far I am not experiencing any problems with anything with a very few 644 files. Thanks, Rob.

I wonder if part of the problem is that your umask was set oddly before running mergemaster, or possibly even when doing your csup. It should be 022. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
