Y'know, I posted it to -advocacy and my local LUG mailing list on Tuesday, hoping maybe a couple people would read it and have some good comments and suggestions on it. What happened is I haven't gotten much of anything done the past few days, from using the comments and suggestions, and answering all the emails I've gotten. I guess somebody DID find it useful :) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
