Thanks! Not sure that's the perfect solution, but it sure sounds like a step in the right direction--thinking of a way to accomplish something rather than reasons to not accomplish something. Also, in terms of numbers, I wonder how many Linux systems have a single (vs. multiple) real (i.e., human) users? Maybe we need a single user and a multiuser Linux (OS and kernel?)? regards, Randy Kramer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
