Being able to read a language, and I have no idea, nor do you, exactly how well the OP can converse in English. There are numerous posters on this forum that apparently can read to a limited extend and post as well in English. Grammatically, it may suck but at least the the majority of this community can ascertain what the OP was trying to convey. > > All he did was ask for some assistance; not for someone to do the > > actual assignment.

Tnx. </quote> Interesting! "Do" != "Help" You do have a serious IQ deficiency. So, using your interpretation, the next time someone posts asking for help with a problem they have encountered with FreeBSD, you are going to assume that they want you to actually fix it for them rather then give them some verbal assistance or a link to a possible fix?

I have just sent a message to that address requesting that it be routed to his instructor, Ms. Nancy M. Flores requesting clarification on this assignment, particularly whether it is considered outside the bounds of the assignment to contact the FreeBSD mailing list directly. I included the OP's original post to this group so as to eliminate any confusion on her part. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
