I had this silly notion that using and expecting defaults to apply to the default install would enable solving the problem more quickly. That you seem to call solving the initial problem a "hang-up" is noted as is the fact that the original poster's been scared off by the various conflicting opinions on trying to go with minimal changes to default cases as a 1st-base-stop, then customizing to your heart's content afterwards. You don't get it. We are talking about someone's config that doesn't work. I don't care if you can recreate a new config for them in pig-latin, it's not default and in this case, simplification and using defaults would see to be a way of getting to a solution sooner rather than later. But I would be one of the first people agreeing with you that ultimately you can (or should be able to) configure it about anyway you want! ---- In what galaxy? If you still run sendmail, that's where your inbox is. Sure, all my list email is in ~/mail, but that's put there by my filtering agent which uses the defaults where possible to allow for more compatibility with less change -- because I know the more I customize, the more I'm likely to be screwed by something at the next upgrade. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
