Thanks, I told the individual that I didn't think it would work. I saw something on a forum regarding it. I don't remember exactly what it referred to though. It is not going to happen in v.9.x of FreeBSD; however, perhaps before bumping the version to v.10, someone might get this resolved. However, sometimes I wonder if certain individuals are more interested in bumping version numbers as opposed to putting out fully functional software. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
