Same error message with or without -h localhost.

Indeed -p caused a request for a password. But at this point I have no idea what that password is. It is not blank. I tried that. Thanks for the thoughts, though. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
