On the security module id convention...
To be honest, I just cut-and-pasted SGI's post,
which didn't use "-n". You're right, my original post used "-n",
sorry about the change.
I can't see any serious advantages with or without "-n".
With "-n" you're immune to varying end-of-line conventions, but
they don't vary between (nearly all) Unix-like systems anyway.
The "-n" option isn't available on some old "echo"s, but again
that's irrelevant for Linux.
I think we should do whatever most people who use the convention
want to do. Anyone care one way or another?
I'd be happy to change it back to using "-n"; it seems to me that
the important thing is to agree on a convention, that's all.
Thanks.
