So if your local copy doesn't contain it, there must be something else at fault. I can not think of anything in the build/packaging process which would remove arbitrary configuration from the file. Also, there is nothing special happening during the beta phase or the update process which could induce such a change.
Hi Peter, I just verified the RO copy of 'default-server.conf' on the RC1 CD contains the userdir section that was missing. I can't verify what the file contained on the Beta CDs, since I delta'd them out of existence here :-) Is there any process in YaST2 or SuSEConfig related to Apache2 or other services or even the firewall setup that could or would surgically strip that one section out? Not only was RC1 *not* a 'clean install', there was a significant delay between the final update from Beta 4 and the time that I actually enabled the server and relevant modules to support development on this machine. Another possibility: Now that I think about it... and, boy, I really hate it when my memory starts playing tricks on me... I was extremely tired and frustrated that night and it is /possible/ I overwrote the section instead of inserting it. I remember the "Aha!" moment when I found the file size difference. I remember using the diff plugin in jEdit to compare the two (prior working 9.3 vs. the broken in situ 10.0 RC1)... but it is conceivable I misinterpreted what I was seeing in my tired state and overwrote the relevant section. Can I buy you a Guinness or something? ;-) - Carl
