First, it would be greatly appreciated if you shortened the lines in your posts/email. Generally 65-70 characters per line is considered optimal as that allows someone to quote your post without it looking like crap, as it does above. Second, it's generally a good idea to search the mailing list archives to see if your question has already been answered. It has, by me, not too long ago. The archives can be accessed via the URL http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives Specifically, my config file can be found at the following URL http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9806/msg02464.html Gary -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
