(Movie-industry paranoia backfires again? ;-) I would rather have the ability to create clean disks, rather than have to try ti fix the dvd players of any friends I loan a dvd to. BTW, I found my mail problem, I switched from using courier-imap to dovecot for may imap server, because the permission-access for courier was too complicated, but I forgot to turn off the rc.d file, so I had battling imaps. Very wierd results, which is why it took me so long to figure it out, and I let it get out of hand. > > Tim > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
