Right. But if the sysadmin customizes any part of that configuration— even something completely unrelated—which is very likely, then he or she will be prompted.

If the defaults are not fine, which often they are not, then the sysadmin will be prompted. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
