It works "well enough" for me, but might not work for others. I only have four or five machines I have to worry about, so I can get by with a messy solution. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
