Thanks to all of the great responses I've gotten:) Yes, usually I've only required to enter info and such after I upgrade it, but lately it's been asking every time for me to log in, I've been using v 3.0 for BSD 2.x I think, maybe that has something to do for it, there wasn't a 3.0 for newer BSDs available yet. Regardless it isn't much of a problem since I usually leave it running for months at a time:) - Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
