very true, but it doesn't change the fact that there is little in NT worth trying to put into FreeBSD. for an example of what i think is wrong with *both* systems look at their access control systems. both the full-blown ACLs of NT and the simple permissions of FreeBSD are inferior in most ways to capabilities. anyone want to make a FreeBSD server for VSTa? b3n On Tue, 27 May 1997, Justin T.
