If you are absolutely certain that you did not change I am 99% certain. I don't know anything about what that change does, and if I had made that change, it would have been on my laptop. cyberia is an image processing machine that I run for some local radio astronomy people, and I don't do much random hacking on it. Several other people *do* or *have* had root access, but I can't fathom that any of them know enough to make that change if they wanted to.

No, and I grepped through /var/lib/dpkg/info/ but only your package references that file. How hard would it be to do a global archive search? set -e; for f in `find /debian/ -name '*.deb'; do x=$(mktemp -d) || { echo "mktemp -d failed at $f" && exit 1; }; cd "$x/"; ar x "$f" control.tar.gz tar xzf control.tar.gz grep sysfs.conf >/dev/null 2>&1 * && echo >&2 "Found reference to sysfs.conf in $f"; done; (untested) I have always wanted to do this.. -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
