But this is not caused by the platform on which I run the client, I had exactly the same problem with Windows. Mostly I followed the Oracle chapter of the handbook but I needed to do some adjustments. I can't remember the details, though. It's been a hectic week. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
