Not to mention at least in the past it has tended to accumulate orphans. I was getting tons of warnings on boot-up and discovered that config protection left a ton of files in there from who-knows-when. Granted, this is on a system that has been running Gentoo for about a decade now (every part in it has changed several times, but the OS has steadily migrated along). Now I'm down to 5 files in there, and only one of them is my local.rules file. If udev is going to stick stuff in /etc then it really needs to have better communication when this stuff needs to be modified/cleaned/etc, and what users are and aren't supposed to touch. Rich
