Hello! Correct. As Paul has noted, its part of the Bonjour resolver. Perhaps even the library behind it. When we build OWFS using Cygwin, and the Bonjour mechanism is installed, as if the host is using an iPod, then that library presents itself. Otherwise the library in the form of an .so is used. And naturally on Linux. To be honest I'm not even sure how the whole thing got stuffed into the OWFS collection of files and programs. Paul can you explain more thoroughly what we are missing here? Vincent see if you can rebuild things so that the library is not there, and present that as a test case. ----- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
