Cliff, Thank you for understanding my dilemma! It's tough trying to write to a questions forum of "experts" when their replies are usually along the lines of... "read the freaking man page..." (as I've had said before) I always assumed that forums were to help people to gain an understanding and answers to problems - not make them feel worse because they don't fully understand the man page or the OS - or that they have to use the 'DATE' command to set the time - like that command really makes sense? I want to be a part of the FreeBSD community - but I need time to get there while I learn bits at a time. Once again, I thank you very much!
