Sounds like a nice little utility.. The problem is it isnt installed on my system, either...
You *cannot* install it ??
CAN but why would i just for the sake of ONE setting?
One? I count 37.
I dont like to many unused stuff cluttering my system.
I sympathise, but compared to some of the stuff I have complained about here in the past that I cannot eliminate this is small fry. I use Thunderbird on my laptop and communicate with a mail-hub I have no need for Postfix, yet I *have* to have it (or Exim), all 2349556 bytes of it. I don't use LDAP for login, but despite the options in /etc/nsswitch.conf there are many library modules, even those used by /bin/ls, to map between ID# and user name that drag in all of NIS and LDAP, regardless. Other parts of Linux use 'plugin' technology but not this; even other parts of the login mechanism - PAM - is plugin, but not this. I've been told to suck it up and get on with it, and I expect you'll be told much the same.
Sure, if it is the only way to change that darn setting i would. But i refuse to think its the only way to deal with the problem. The setting is stored SOMEWHERE.. I just need to find out WHERE...
Quite possibly. If you find a way to remove Postfix and LDAP, please tell me. -- The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of meeting schedules is forgotten. --Kathleen Byle, Sandia National Laboratories -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
