But on reconsidering, maybe windows did something right by consolidating all those *.conf files scattered all over hell into one file. In any event, each application that needs to know what resources it might have, has a name-of-program.conf file thats independant of other programs. So there is not a single "registry" file on a *nix system. but several dozen scattered here and there, and not all in the /etc directory although thats where they are supposed to be AIUI.. -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty.
