You might try "satyrd" for two different puns involving wine, "faund" (depending on how obsequious the daemon is), or more banal items like "vintnerd" (I thought that was almost too obvious), "vd" (possible indirect consequence), "yeast" (if it helps make vinum what it is), and probably more. I'm desperately trying to remember the proper name for winemaking, but I'm stuffed if I can come up with it just now. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
