One less partition to backup. If you've ever tried sharing /usr/lib/uucp (with config files in /usr/lib/uucp) across nfs partitions, you end up doing symlink tricks anyway, so it's just as well that Sun moved the config files to /etc/uucp. Most of the old paths still work (/usr/man, /usr/spool, /usr/adm), so most users don't notice the change. -- Ed Anselmo anselmo-ed@cs.yale.edu {harvard,decvax}!yale!anselmo-ed
