After hearing all the stories on this list about people switching to FBSD because the users are so much more helpful than Linux users and how we don't flame people that ask stupid questions this was quite a shock. I agree that the original question was misdirected but was that a good way to deal with it? To answer the question: I don't know. Considering how much M$ and Netscape hate each other, I doubt it's possible. You might try looking into an LDAP server. (Check the ports collection). You could also try the Netscape discussion forums. -Brandon -- bfoz@glue.umd.edu "Lead, follow, or get run over" "In life there are those who steer, and those who push" "I'm not impatient, the world is too slow" "Life is short, so have fun, play hard, and leave a good looking corpse" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
