You should have a group dip as group number 30. As I understood it, if you don't have the group, you would see the numerical value of gd, so perhaps it's there. I skimmed past it the first time I was looking for it, so it may be worth checking. The dip group is sufficient to allow users to use pon / poff. The permissions are intended that way. -- Regards, Paul
