I apologize for coming on a little strong with the first contribution I made to this thread, I certainly don't mean to snipe the people that bend over backward to contribute to the FreeBSD project. In a more conservative tone, I meant to say how are we going to fix this so as not to bite users that have no shell scripting knowledge at all? I *thought* I had been following this thread, and although I have heard a lot of bantering about what is correct syntax and what is not, I must have missed the "heads up it's fixed" message ;-) regards, -- Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
