Interesting. Compare the mcedit versions (rpm -q mc) (mcedit --version)
I did, they are identical on both boxes.
Perhaps the 64 bit version was compiled with a diferent option.
... Also tried diff'ing the various config files in /usr/share/mc and in ~/.mc and couldn't find anything different that seemed pertinent.
Anything about creating a backup file while editing?
On the 64 bit box, mcedit creates a softlink in the current directory for the file being edited, that apparently causes the directory timestamp to update. On the 32 bit box, no softlink is created and I have no idea at all why they act differently.
If it doesn't create a softlink it means it makes no backup of the file, but changes it in place. That method does not alter the directory, it does not create nor delete files. I think only the inode might change.
I've resigned myself to simply doing a rccron restart.
Simply edit it again wit a diferent editor, like joe (aka jstar aka jmacs aka rjoe aka jpico), and save. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEOEKitTMYHG2NR9URAmMNAJ9obOKsVLHhWlxil2XXHQ0SVKxVngCdF9u8 qfZMm7TGVEQFzg+pymL5lZo= =P2rI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
