Forgive me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that posh was created for the purpose of providing a shell which supports a minimum of functionality required by policy against which scripts could be tested. If providing such a shell as a measure is the way to go, would it not make sense to modify posh in the respects that it does not represent policy?[1] -- Cheers, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kevin | http://kevinlocke.name | kevinoid on freenode 1.
