Seems like someone ran a probe on us or something. Thanks in advance, -Ade ps. incidently, the machine which initiated the connection looks like another FreeBSD machine. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Inet: mbarkah@hemi.com - HEMISPHERE ONLINE - www: --------------------------------------------------------------------
