I'm just surprised that what used to be an "upstream provider issue" and left at that is a sprawling set of "bitches with no end" as of late. I ignored the first few, then tried to respond to the next few, now I'm not going to bother anymore -- people will talk on end about their justification (which are often narrowminded), excessive workarounds (that aren't necessary, but it's all they know), etc... while completely ignoring what most of us do when we need such functionality (possibly with a better solution -- or at least several that fit the bill). Let's get the reality straight, these are upstream provider defaults and they aren't going to change for that reason -- at least not in the stock CentOS distribution. So why do we see the bitching for the impossible? -- Bryan J.
