Thanks, but I don't think I'll study that one too closely just yet :-) My vi doesn't work either (not that it worries me!) and the error message looks vaguely similar. I wonder if others have had this solved in freebsd-questions in the past? A quick search of the freebsd-questions mailing list archive on http://www.freebsd.org/search.html will probably bring it up. In fact, I'd be interested to hear how you go with the search. Some people have had trouble with it, while others swear by it. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
