It's just a generic string. It actually uses a special encoding defined in the RFCs for putting a string in an engineID. What you should know is that the engineID it uses on the wire will *not* be exactly what is sent on the wire. If you really wanted to do that you you'd have to use the oldEngineID token, which isn't really meant for user usage so you should know what you're doing. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
