Good day, Thank you for all the informations. MI/X works very fine. It is straight forward and simple to use. I would not use RSH or REXEC for security issues so, for now, I simply open a telnet session on the FreeBSD box and call a predefined alias in my .cshrc file to set the x connection. As far as Winblows, I agree. But untill someone forces uncle Bill to lease the rights of his products (Office, etc...) to be available on other platforms I must do my administrative stuff either on a Windows 95 or Windows NT (Neandertal Technology) station. I still do prefer real O/S such as OpenVMS and Unix (FreeBSD). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jean-Marc Beaudoin Analyste technique V.I.P.
