SNIP I would recommend taking a look at tcl/tk. Both are in the ports/packages collection. I'm not familiar with VB (thank goodness), but if it's consistant with everything else that shop rolls out, even the most simple Hello World is gonna generate something bloated. Tcl/Tk will require some (very) basic scripting skills. A

We're trying to put an old server to good use again and would like to know what's exactly the oldest machine running OpenBSD? SNIP At my place of work, I have an old cakebox Sparc IPX 25 (40??)MHz with 16 MB RAM, 2GB HHDcirca 1992-3. It runs dns, ssh, and nothing else. It's been sitting on a special network that's completely isolated from the internet since approx 1998. I haven't had the heart to bury that thing yet :-) A

I'm trying to sync some [EMAIL PROTECTED] workstations and the update request always fail--both with it and with other time servers. I can sync my openbsd workstation with it no problem, but nothing shows in the logs then, either. SNIP I run obsd on my firewall (of course). My firewall syncs it's clock with external time servers. The ntpd on my firewall listens only on the internal interface, so that my internal hosts can sync with it. I have a statement in my pf.conf file to allow my internal hosts to connect to the ntpd over udp 123: pass in log quick on $IntIF inet proto udp from any to 10.2.2.1 port 123 keep state Please note that I also use the log option in my rule. Hope that helps, A

You need to tools-options-downloads, and tell firefox to open files with .pdf extension with xpdf (or whatever viewer you prefer). Thanks again Jason! A
