I've been doing it since Version 7, and I was recently stunned by the discovery that modern BSD-based systems still use basically the same method. For the past 6-8 years I've been gafiating in System V land, and one of the few really nice things about System V (and lord knows there are few) is the configuration method. Short of dynamically loading the kernel on startup (which is of course the ideal method) I've not seen better, for any OS. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' Ferranti Intl. Ctls. Corp.
