I could use some help in figuring out what is so slow. Also, may or may not be related: I have not configured Sendmail yet and it gets unhappy and panics every morning when it can't deliver something. -bill- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
