It would take some tweaking by the user or perhaps we could put something into /etc/sysconfig to tell it what interface to check for a connection. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
