FWIW, PSU Guest also doesn't work on OSX, so it is not just a Linux thing. Your workaround worked great for me last night. I'm curious how you stumbled on this somewhat obscure solution. I contacted the PSU Help Desk after the January meeting and complained. They seemed to think it was an individual problem and suggested I come to their help desk to get unblocked, during their business hours, which naturally failed to coincide with my presence on PSU campus. After successfully failing to solve my problem, they closed my ticket. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
