Do you want /sbin/init to clear/reset the vt before respawning a process, /sbin/login to do so before it outputs anything, or do you want /etc/skel to contain .bash_logout, .zlogout, etc. in order to suggest users clear their screen? Any of them is likely a small patch, although /sbin/init and /sbin/login do need to support more consoles that the Linux vt. > 2. Users home directories get created with 755 permissions.

It makes it easier to share things, and sharing is the default in most Free Software communities. > 3. Debian installer defaults to creating user group names which is just a > mess.

This is more of a users- helping-users group. There are certainly some DDs here, but most of use don't have direct control over the development policies of Debian. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
