Morning Joel,

good advice - which is why I mentioned that I wasn't 100% sure. HP tend to muck about with standard things in a similar way to Microsoft :o)

Cheers,
Norman.

Be wary of advice given based on HP servers - hp/ux is by itself in the unix/oracle world for how it searches /etc.

Of course, all unix are more-or-less converging, but there are still gotchas between them. Linux has an advantage in being a workalike and not quite as subject to SYS-V/BSD idiosyncracies. Received on Tue Feb 04 2003 - 04:16:58 CST
