There is no legacy to take care of though (except for /etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/sysctl.d) so I'd assuem that the list and ordering is up for discussion. Using *.d in */lib is kind of unusual for example. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
