Hmm, that was an unfortunate side effect. The writing is only needed for marking the dump as "read", the same effect could be had much cleaner by writing the signature of the dump to a file in /var/ somewhere and not reading dumps already in that file. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
