It's not so confounding once you get the hang of it. The fundamentals are actually refreshingly simple; you just need to not let yourself get bogged down in the implementation details. If you'd like to describe in as simple terms as possible what you're trying to achieve, I'd be happy to work through it with you. Maybe off-list, unless you think there is some general issue that needs publicising. Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
