Hi, the problem here is the lack of a standard, e.g. the author of a program may set the default path and SuSE (for whatever reason) put it somewhere else in the fs. That is why I use to build some programs I experienced to change often from the authors source (proftpd for example) and take responsibility for security from SuSE (but I have to admit I only do this with programs that do nat have many dependencies:)). The SuSE poeple have the ungrateful job to take care that the system as a whole is working and secure and all the apps work well together (and that it is not too hard to install). That is their disadvantage to the people developing only one program. mike
