I wasn't in favour of it earlier, but I can't for the life of me remember why that was. It prolly should be modprobing net-pf-10, so we don't pull it in if the admin's specifically disabled it. Although I dunno how best to communicate back to the admin that they're ifuping an inet6 interface but have disabled pf 10... So that might not be such a good idea. > >> (Also, rootskel has nothing at all to do with /etc/modules, and loop is > >> not listed in /etc/modules on newly installed systems.) >> Weird.

I didn't do any encrypted filesystems... In fact, I don't recall even going with LVM. I wonder if I dipped into the encrypted filesystem setup and then changed my mind... -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, B.Sc, LPI, MCSE On-hiatus Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Pobox.Com Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
