I'm not comfortable doing this even though it works because as you can see, I have a general idea what I want to do but, really dont know proper way to handle this. any advise would be great! thanks Jan Jan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
