IIRC, "Amnesiac" faded away after (?) hostname/network configuration. Whatever the exact cause may be (I'll try a suitable "grep -r" sooner or later), the moral seems to be: in a well-configured system there is no room for "Amnesiac" :-) Best regards, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
