In that case, let me introduce you to the "apt-cache" command, from the "apt" package (IOW you almost certainly have it installed). Try this: apt-cache search dns Cool, eh? apt-cache requires no special permissions and can do all sorts of cool things. I find that I use "search", "show", and "showpkg" quite frequently. Note that the search term is a real regex, not a glob. I used the results of the above command when I composed my earlier reply; it took me a minute or so to vgrep the output. -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Whenever men attempt to suppress argument and free speech, we may be sure that they know their cause to be a bad one. -- R.
