For an example of this that (in my experience) works well, take a look at RDB, by Walt Hobbs, at ftp.rand.org:/pub/RDB-hobbs. I've used this as a basis for several things (some of were more useful than others). And if there's a perception that something "broke", you can always use the tried-and-true UNIX text-based tools.... >3) Database management systems. Did not work ;-) As a sysadmin, I tend to be mistrustful of such things.... :-} david -- David Wolfskill dhw@whistle.com (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
