One correction. In my previous mail I said there were bash-isms in /etc/init.d/squid. I really meant /etc/cron.daily/squid. I am running vanilla slink and the squid that comes with it. I have just discovered other bash constructs in /usr/bin/fax, from the efax package, even if it begins with #!/bin/sh. bye -- Carlo Strozzi Key fingerprint = CF22 C843 2D81 11D2 DE54 CD02 8FA4 9A94 2483 9893 Against software patents: http://www.freepatents.org - http://no-patents.prosa.it
