That feature really should have a command-line option, documented in the man page. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking-

I pretty much agree, but there are also a fair contingent of folks who (apparently) occasionally do something unwise and then complain that the system didn't stop them from doing what was so "obviously" wrong. You can't have everything. All is not lost, though. If you don't like the new functionality, then make sure that your support folks hear about it, and (better yet) participate in the development of Solaris itself via opensolaris.org. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson(a)sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677

I do appreciate it if, when I ask it to do something stupid, it tells me "If you do this your system will fail to boot" (or whatever other disaster I'm about to create.) If that's exactly what I meant to happen I can go ahead. If not, I can rethink what I was trying to do and how I was trying to do it. The Unix command line interface can be dangerously terse and cryptic. Fat finger a single character and the the O/S may do something entirely different from what you intended. Power tools should have "blade guards" where appropriate. If you REALLY want to saw off your fingers, hire a surgeon!!!! |
