I never intended to hijack anyone's thread, and you will probably notice that I changed the subject (although I missed to remove the email body). > The key problem in this case seems to be that, rather than creating an email from scratch with the freebsd-questions address as the recipient, you hit "reply". Emails actually kinda keep track of whether they're in response to other emails, ane which emails those are. Many of us use mail clients that make use of that to enhance our ability to deal with email efficiently, and when you hit "reply" when you're starting a whole new discussion topic you end up with your email being slotted into a "thread" dedicated to a different topic. As such, you end up "hijacking a thread". Rule of thumb: Unless you're actually replying to something someone else said, don't use the "reply" button in your email client. As for your question: read up on "X forwarding" with the "ssh" tool. If you need further help beyond that, *please* start a new thread and ask there. I'll try to keep an eye out for such a thread so I can reply if I have some help to offer. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Baltasar Gracian: "A wise man gets more from his enemies than a fool from his friends."
