I'm not clear that we want to document this at all since I am not clear that there is a sensible use case for doing it. I did ask for one but you've not articulated one in this reply. I am much less gung ho than Grant on this one, even as a Linux specific interface it seems very legacy. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
