Just to be clear, you're not showing us your commands or the errors, so we're not going to be much help. You're trying something which should work (and does work for others), but for some reason it's not working for you. Likely this is because of some small detail that's not correct. If you just say "I did it right and it didn't work" then there's no way to figure out what's wrong. Here's an example of how to show things: --------------------- Help! echo doesn't echo what I type!!! $ echo foo bar foo bar --------------------- Given the above the answer is forthcoming. Without the output it's unlikely anybody can/will answer. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG dwchand...@stilyagin.com | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
