If this is the case, I'm sorry. In no way did I mean to disparage anyone or suggest that I expected the group here to cater to me. I am an avid FreeBSD user; have used it since 386BSD. I think the purpose of the questions list is to be a forum for discussing technical facts about the OS, but also to float suggestions on how a great OS can be made better. We won't all always agree on these things, or on how the OS should ship on the CDs - but that doesn't make me a bad guy (moron, newbie, scrotum head, or any of the names I was called today). I still believe that the three-finger salutes should be disabled by default - but that's just one person's opinion. If I can contribute to the effort by documenting these holes, great! If someone would be so kind as to point me to the procedure for formatting and submitting the the documentation, I'll help out. I'll just go cry in my pretzels now... <sniff>. :v) - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
