(I don't think that there is any private info in these items, but check it just in case.) I'll try to look at it. You don't have to wait until you actually run out of swap to send me the info. Just make sure that you have used a large part of your swap space. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
