Maybe it would be better to jerk the thing out by the roots like a Mandrake, kicking and screaming, and be done with it. I dinked with all of my NFS mounts in my localnet until I broke everything, on all of my machines, REAL GOOD(tm)! Then I found the wonky eth0 address on my server. I appreciate being on the cutting edge, I just abhor getting an ass-beating to something mission critical like everyday networking. My first fear was that I was root-kitted via my stinking 56k modem, that only runs reliably at 28.8, and that someone had way too much time on their hands! <grimaces> Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
