Another problem is, this machine is running a IRC server, for some reeason connecting clients are not resolving, shows user@ip instead od user@dom.com Any ideas? -Mike Ekholm -- UNIX Sys Admin | ekholm@ekholm.org | http://www.ekholm.org | IRC: Nalez ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway" - Andrew S.
