Oops.. You're absolutely right Chris, it is the same: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20040308154441.GA73721 I didn't recognize the poster as the one who created that document and tried to peddle it for money last year. It was another of those never-ending threads so rather than pollute the list lets just drop this. Its just not worth the time or bandwidth. My apologies to the list. I will be more careful in the future. Best regards, Randy --
