May I suggest that if you're not going to give a helpful answer, that you don't give _any_ answer. Smart-ass comments like this don't do much for FreeBSD's image. If there was a tiny part of your post which was in fact a serious answer, I missed it completely, which is an indication that the original poster may have too. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
