If you're simply looking to use sudo to run commands, the default settings are fine. They work for me just fine :) Then again, if you decide at a later date you want to add that feature, there's nothing stopping you adding the flag and re-compiling the code with skey support. -- Jonathan Wright ~ mail at djnauk.co.uk ~ www.djnauk.co.uk -- 2.6.12-gentoo-r6-djnauk-b7 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Mobile CPU 1.80GHz up 15:39, 4 users, load average: 0.42, 0.27, 0.24 -- "About a year ago I was a guest on a network news show in New York. They were showing film clips from a gay pride parade down Fifth Avenue, but they only decided to show the part with men in dresses and heels. I had seen the parade, and there were men in business suits as well. After showing the film, the newsperson made some comments, and I found the comments extremely offensive." "This is what's wrong with the media," I said. "You show a fringe position. You show one point of view. You're closing the minds of the people by not showing them what the reality is."
