First, I'd use gaim-encryption. It's Free software whereas a cursory examination didn't turn up any evidence that simpserver is. It'd be a shame if they yanked the carpet out from under you at some points. Second, I was going to give some pointers on creating the rc script, like where to find an easily modified example, but I got too bored to do proper research. It's really not that hard, though, and it puts hair on the chest. -- Stuart Jansen e-mail/jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden
