Curiously I made the same mistake. However, note that every commandline arg (correct?) can also be used as a directive in the .conf file Therefore I used "dhcp-hostsfile /etc/blah" in my config file Simon, unless you already changed it, I think the config example could benefit from adding such an example *above* the ethers example? My limited understanding is that this is probably slightly preferred to using "ethers", which is a compatible format with other programs? Cool feature anyway - use it to keep my SSH sessions alive no matter whether on wired/wireless. Cheers Ed W
