I wanted to learn at least a little more about that, starting by looking back at the original post that mentioned that. I looked back about 10 posts but couldn't find it -- can you point me to the original post (and, in the future, could you include the line that mentions when and who posted it (as the first line in this post). Aside: I saw some other posts in this thread that either didn't quote anything or didn't properly attribute the quote -- I truly appreciate appropriate snipping of quotes, and encourage that, but, on the other hand, I also encourage quoting for context and proper attribution. > BTW, if these caps are missing you can recover them with: > > dpkg-reconfigure iputils-ping > > > -- Stefan
