"users and groups" doesn't work the way you expect, therefore, there's a "bug" somewhere. so file it in bugzilla, karl. if you seriously think all these curiosities and oddities you run across are genuine bugs, then treat them that way and enter them into bugzilla, and be done with it. and when the bugzilla folks start to lose patience with you, well, you can certainly give *them* a piece of your mind. you are simply not teachable, karl. people have tried, and people have failed. all we can hope for, at this point, is that we can try to keep you from inflicting damage on others on this list when they decide to take you seriously. rday ======================================================================== Robert P.
