Works well :) Hmmm... I am in the process of setting up my home LAN server (I know, I'm starting to feel like Sisyphus here, I keep starting over...) and I was going thru and weeding out some extraneous RPMs that RedHats install loaded me up w/. I was going to rpm -e hesiod, but then thought it sounded potentially useful for just that sort of thing on my LAN. Now it sounds like perhaps I will tube it and later set up LDAP if I'm feeling up to it(long laundry list of other stuff first, though.) Thanks, Monte -- All right, breaks over.
