The user is not dialing in, but just doing a telnet in the box. TIA, -- Shashi Joshi _____________________________________________________________________ __o o__ o__ o__ o__ There's one _ \<._ _.>/ _ _.>/ _ _.>/ _ _.>/ _ in every (_)/ (_) (_) \(_) (_) \(_) (_) \(_) (_) \(_) crowd... _____________________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
