Well, I was going to post this information to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc, but as you can well tell, my local news setup is slightly broken. Any advice out there as to how I can fix _it_, besides the questions I asked? :) Answers to _any_ (and especially all) of the questions, would be _deeply_ appreciated. ;) Yours, A. N.
