However, I'm not 100% sure that is the case right now. Your interpretation is correct: the flag is set iff the configuration was tiggered by a user action. For all saved rules we set this flag too, since the saved rules were initially the result of a user action,, too. > I'd have to look at the code to answer 100% here, but certainly the > intention is that the sink is only saved if the user has actively > moved the sink (e.g. calls the appropriate API command). That is true. (And if it somewhere is handled differently, that should be considered a bug) Lennart -- Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. lennart [at] poettering [dot] net http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4
