Shouldn't tristatelogic.com have it's own IP in hosts? Or at least be in the myname equivalent file? I'm not sure what OS you are using, so it may be different. I use OpenBSD and we do this: X.X.X.X tristatelogic.com tristatelogic (last is optional) FVWM is built into base OpenBSD and I am finally giving a real go at using it. I'm very confused so far but working on it. I am also going to try to get tmux working too, since that is built into base too. Anything I can learn is a plus to me! Chris Bennett
