My google foo apparently isn't very good, because I can't seem to find it, and I forgot to bookmark it. Does anyone know what I'm referring to? I really like that way of updating my ports. -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
