There are a lot of detailed questions with simple answers. I don't see way this couldn't apply to this one. I waited a couple of days (just as a other writing suggested) for someone to come up with a better answer. Since no one did I gave my thoughts.

I feel that you make to much fuss out of this. -- Best regards/Met vriendelijke groet, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
