I'm just not convinced that not being able to ssh in to a server and edit some config files but rather have to figure out how to tweak the policy-daemon-of-the-month is the user experience a large segment of "we" wants at all. Human-editable config files are a huge strength. Using a policy daemon may be part of the answer, but it should be able to get its configuration from something that can be fixed with vi. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
