See rc.conf(5) for more /etc/rc.conf wizardry. Thanks. I have just noticed another strange thing: telnet now seems to assume I use the same login name on every Unix system in the world. When I telnet to my web hosting account, I no longer see the familiar "login:" prompt. Instead, it asks me for the password. Naturally, after I enter my valid password, I get a slap in the face for an incorrect login because telnet has sent out a wrong login ID. I studied man telnet, and found the -K switch which disables this. But it will get some getting used to before I type the -K switch every time. In version 3.1 telnet made no assumptions about my login identity, and I liked it that way. Cheers, Adam -- When a finger points at the Moon... do you look at the Moon?
