Why is it only in the IT realm, that people think like this "I know how to point and click the mouse in Windows. System Administration and Network Administration just means pointing and clicking. Therefore I am a Network Administrator."... Yeah, point and click your way to oblivion.... Its as if understanding what you are pointing and clicking on does not matter. No one would ever think "I know how to point and click the mouse in Windows. AccPac is a Windows program. I can point and click in AccPac. Therefore I am an Accountant"... Also, the C2 level security stuff... I thought that was only for a stand alone unit, and not in a networked environment. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
