dictd is not really meant to be run by an end-user. On my system, 'ps aux | grep dictd' shows: nobody 306 0.0 3.9 34264 8840 ? S 11:18 0:00 dictd 1.5.5: 0/0 Obviously a lot more that yours is using ;) But then again, I have many dictionaries installed. Uninstall dictd, the 'dict' client will go out and look up dictionaries on the 'net. -- .--=====-=-=====-=========----------=====-----------=-=-----=. / David Barclay Harris Aut agere, aut mori. \ \ Clan Barclay Either action, or death. / `-------======-------------=-=-----=-===-=====-------=--=----'
