Also, that is the way it does when the option is not in the file at all. If it defaults to yes, then it would break all those systems that had to cut it off after trying it when turned on. Some services just can't start fast enough I guess. It has been a while since I tried that option but it did work on my slower x86 rig. I think it is the newer multi-core machines that have issues. My rule of thumb on updates, if I haven't changed the file, I let it update it as it sees fit. If it is a file I edited, like fstab, rc-conf etc, then I do the updates line by line myself. The exception would be this one since it is not a line that I changed. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
