forcing grep to process everything as text is just stupid anyways ... doing a normal grep on /etc ignores all the binary files added wrapper script because of the neat explanation rather than catering to people forcing grep to do lame things Whew... that was fast. About grep, maybe it was a lame explanation indeed, but there isn't only grep, and some things (especially hand-made) may choke. Besides, FHS says that `No binaries may be located under /etc.' <http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.7.html> (Granted, it was a symlink, I'm not sure how it fits in with the standard.) Anyway, whatever the rationale, thanks for fixing it, and that quick :-) |
