As long as X doesn't dynamically load a now binary-incompatible module and segfault. X does load modules on demand from time to time, does it not? Then of course there's the issue of power failures, my UPS only lasts for about five minutes and we've had some wicked winter storms lately. On another topic I'm assuming that this technique is inappropriate for managing large numbers of workstations or servers. I assume you'd patch one sacrificial box, and then use a completely different mechanism to push those changes out to your managed machines. Mike -- Michael P.
