Sorry, you just asked the equivalent of: "I've loaded 6 bullets into my '.357 Magnum' hairdryer, pointed it at my head and pulled the 'dry' trigger, and it's not working. Someone said I had to turn the 'safety' off, please tell me how." Decide if you want STABLE or CURRENT first. If you need more answers after that, you can mail me direct if you like. (it actually looks like you have got CURRENT source there, now decide if you want it.) -- Rasputin Jack of All Trades :: Master of Nuns To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
