You should also look at /var/log/sshd.log and the Windows Event Viewer for clues. -- David Rothenberger ---- daver...@acm.org It is inconceivable that a judicious observer from another solar system would see in our species -- which has tended to be cruel, destructive, wasteful, and irrational -- the crown and apex of cosmic evolution.
