We currently does not have --disable-* options for all utils, and we don't have any strict policy about it (I hate when people blindly follow rules, common sense is better). We usually have the option for large things (e.g. libs), things that are not unique to util-linux (e.g. kill, login), too old things or very new utils (e.g. nsenter). And many utils we assume everywhere (e.g. ipcs or swapon). Karel -- Karel Zak http://karelzak.blogspot.com
