Daytime gives you the time in ascii format. Time somehow returns the time in a binary format, i forget exactly how it works. chargen outputs ascii characters, 72 per line, in order, each line starting one character later in the sequence. > also, can somone give me a straight answer on how to restart initd?

Usually i use /etc/init.d/inetd restart - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN+r+mr7M/9WKZLW5AQFQEgP+JngBOi6vxD25MMKdD0vxUEqCRjDJEsdJ 2BNGKuw55OBM9MUF+oOAsnhitksLlxK1EX+PFiNjPxEO6el4DhUwT/tw/P9Sj/uP JSsEviZn5Ed032kIhpwBQY8/9IhS1rlCqM+LzVhgL5haQdQDzdOw+uXJ5oAqugC9 ozGlglUy7l8= =NJQx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
