There is only one devil whereas there can be many demons. Not that either is a relevant question to FreeBSD in any case since we use a DAEMON. Notice the difference in spelling. It's a greek word which means "helpful spirit or worker." I suppose the closest english(?) word would be "genie." - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
