First of all, it's not just a pretty looking table, it's a correct table. If all SB devices register themselves with the same name, then my reverse lookup table is incomplete, because more devies with the same name can only be registered once in the reverse lookup table. Second, if this is of no concern, then why does it work with the SB3 and not a newer device ? paulster;624233 Wrote: > If you really find yourself needing to SSH into the devices and need to > SSH as devicename.dnsdomain then you've probably got bigger problems > that just enjoying your music. I did not visit this forum to get offended and do not like your comment. If you don't want to read my posts or don't agree with my way of thinking, or don't understand why I want certain things, then please do not respond. -- ASS-Ware Bye, Arjan.
