We switched over to using cucipop instead, it runs as standalone, (no more need for inetd round' here), and has yet to give me any trouble(s). It's in the ports collection, all you need to do is envoke '/usr/local/libexec/cucipop -Y' on startup, and it works great. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
