Hey Darren

Oh man... i should have waited another 30 mins before just copying over the
files i just got into the /etc/ dir. Oh well, i guess it's okay... i didn't
change the /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd files though.

>Does that make a bit more sense now?

yes... this makes way more sense. You rock :)

Thanks for all your help and patience

Desmond
