- Should not have been included? Do you mean that there should
- not be a /etc/passwd file, or that it shouldn't have overwritten the
- one that was there?

- Sorry...didn't mean to give the impression that I think you
- are doing anything less then an excellent job...getting SLS up and
- running has been a piece of cake...just some of the tweaking for an
- individual site tends to be causing headaches :)
-
- As for SCO/DELL...NAWT! Cost is too great, considering that
- most of the stuff on either I would replace with the much improved
- versions that can be found on the net. All I basically have left of
- my old OS is the kernel...everything else has been basically replaced :)
-
- One thing that would be nice to see in the future is some
- sort of configuration script that would at least set you up
- sitename/domainname wise :) Especially in the tcp/ip package...still
- haven't gotten that thing configured correctly :( Or maybe even just a
- list of files that have to be changed?
-
- Thanks Peter...for all of your time.
