Well, if you build a machine by hand, you're going to have a much better grasp of how it all fits together. If you just use admintool, sam, smit or whatever, you will have no idea of what it does to do things. When something breaks, if you know what you had to do to get things set up, you've got a better chance of being able to fix it. Trouble shooting is often guess work, but the more you know, the better your guesses will be. David : -- dscheidt@tumbolia.com Bipedalism is only a fad.
