Didn't really answer what I asked, but all suggestions/feedback/comments on how other people are doing things are always welcome. It helps to see other possible solutions to what one is doing. I am a firm believer in learning from the experience of others if they are willing to dedicate the time to share their experience with me. :-) _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
