The software should not treat it lightly. I disagree. This is *exactly* the same case as if the user has done rm -f /bin/ls When you upgrade coreutils, it'll fix this by putting /bin/ls back. (Note the correspondence between rm and del -- pretty much the same thing.) It's more consistent for packages to keep doing what they're doing, and for sysadmins to properly use 'chkconfig off'. You're solving the wrong problem. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> Current office temperature: 81 degrees Fahrenheit. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
