Most of the time there aren't any problems. This is something that only becomes visible when there is a problem that triggers the interactive fsck. So actually I think that most of the machines have the default which is no. And since problems are rare it isn't a big deal. But I guarentee you that the admin will change it after the second time that it burns them! :-) I was burned once by this and so now I always change it. I find it hard to believe that it isn't the default. But it is easily locally customized. Bob
