I'll add that telling the user to do a pwd_mkdb and then having to follow
the message up with a "first chroot to the user" is like giving the list
of chemicals for nitroglycerine and including a note later about keeping
the temperature very low during mixing. I admit that taking advice from a
list without a grain of salt (understanding) before forging ahead yields
demonstrations of Darwin's laws, though... This list is better than most.

Is this why mail to 'trouble@hackfurby.com' bounces with invalid user? 8{)

btw: Thanks for the Furby schematic! If I could only find one for my Teddy
Ruxpin, I could hack it too. There was an article in DDJ quite some time
ago about making Teddy tapes at home, but I can't find my copy any more.
It should be a breaze with OPL/midi and .wav/au support now. Anyone? - Jy@
