Since Dragonfly hasn't changed the structure, the old version of Vinum should work fine. I'm prepared to help there, but I don't have the time for a full maintainership. As regards fool-proof setup, the setup was a "throwaway" implementation which was unfortunately a little too good, so the pressure to replace it was insufficient. It's relatively trivial to do it right, but that would really require a rewrite of vinumconfig.c. Greg -- Finger grog@xxxxxxxxx for PGP public key. See complete headers for address and phone numbers.
