In my egocentric view of computing (just kidding) I failed to realize that when following examples from webpages line-by-line it doesn't hurt the learning process to first actually run `/bin/sh` then follow their directions!

By the way, can't cvs or cvsup include this CVSROOT info on the command line, hence leading to a more general success rate? -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
