Last I heard, though, we that Damien was no longer working on FreeBSD support. It sounded like someone on the FreeBSD side annoyed him and he just said no more. (That happens too often, although I don't know what happened in this case. Some computer folks seem to have the social skills of a rhinoceros.) OTOH, I did see a message from Damien in the past couple of days. Hopefully, tempers are cooling. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
