I do know that I tried the telinit, and had problems so I decided they might be right and did it their way. I did however have to login as root. Saves a lot of agravation, in my opinion. But t6hen what do I know, I am still lost here. I don't know why things work ar what I type until someone tells me. :-) Later, Beej -- Please know that I'm very knew to this and only know what I've done that has worked, and, perhaps more importantly, what hasn't.
