Wow; I edited my /etc/init.d/dhcp script a few years ago and it hasn't been replaced yet. I think that has something to do with me answering 'N' when dpkg asks me if I want to replace my script with the new version from the package. I usually use 'D' to vgrep for changes which I might want to apply. -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. -- Laurence J.
