I do have one question though. The rc.d file has 'pam' listed rather than sasldb for the '-a ' flag. I changed it there although the directions said not too. Is there any reason that changing it in the rc.d file is a bad thing? I could not figure out what it meant to do otherwise. Was I suppose to create another file that would override that one? If so, what was the syntax of the file suppose to be? Anyway, it works, so that is all I am really interested in at the moment. Ciao! -- Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net
