All this time me thinking that you were one of those "hardcore" users! :-) (And yes, this is sarcasm. You're talking over my head here. Remember, you're talking to a guy who recently thought to himself, "Oooh, a web-based tool for Samba administration! What will they think of next? Wish I knew how it worked, but here goes anyway...") But I do hear what you're saying. In your line of work, it's not only natural that you'd learn such things, it's essential. And while I envy your ability to be exposed to such technology/equipment, I just know I'd be off in a corner in the fetal position if I had to deal with something serious like that mail bombing story Konstantinos told a few messages ago. :-) --Chip Morton At 06:24 AM 6/18/2001, Mike Doyle wrote: >The last thing I would consider myself is an "old guard" unix admin, I've >only been any sort of admin for about 4 years.
