Well, I have another in my line of weird questions: Anyone know why a machine that is up 24 hrs./day, 7days/week wouldn't get the updated /etc/hosts file? Mine is dated January something... Who do I have to bribe? ************************************************************************* ** Edward C.

Mine is dated January something... This file is not supposed to be upgraded automatically. It is to the admin to do the job. If you wish automatic and dynamic name resolving you should configure your system to use the domain name server, or even define a secondary one if this is useful to your needs. Then you'll be up to date. -- Christophe Wolfhugel | Email: wolf@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr INSA - Dpt Informatique | "Le progres ne vaut que s'il est partage par tous," Lyon, France | "les greves aussi.
