Specifically, expecting a cheery overwhelming response, from people who are doing this while they're at work, many working as admins (as I am, right now), without showing any evidence of having read man pages, read stuff, and googled on solving the problem, but treating us like paid support ain't gonna cut it. Had you, for example, searched to find out a) how to look at a file, b) looked at the files I suggested you look at, or c) showed you'd done ANYTHING other than read my response and go, "duh, what's that mean?", I'd have been willing to work with you. And "don't say anything"? Sorry, but if you don't *tell* someone what they're doing wrong, they'll never change. mark
