Not only that, but Ariel seems to have a aversion to quoting previous messages making it almost impossible to understand what he is asking about message to message. This isn't to flame, but just to say that it'd difficult to keep the jist of the problem in mind when you answer up to 20 (or more) other questions on this list a day. I think a fresh start outlining the problem would be a good idea, sans the condensending tone and with some paragraph breaks. thanks, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
