Know why? 1. Well, it's a pleasure for a nooby guy (like me) to find out that he can actually help someone. 2. It's a pleasure for anyone to be given a good answer instead of (probably more appropriate) reprimand. It also makes this anyone think about subscribing and trying to help others. 3. It makes us all able to say that in the absence of official (commercial) vendor support, FreeBSD has a much more efficient way of solving your problems, even without investing your time into reading tomes of docs and manpages. Have a great night, Andrew P.
