Having a *HEADLESS* server doesn't equate to not having X installed. X may be installed without a physical display, that's different. In fact to run stuff, such as Java AWT rendering on *nix you must have some kind of X-window display buffer, maybe VFB. So, yes you must have X installed, but you can still run *HEADLESS*. But hey, I don't believe there was any specific mention of *nix in the post anyway. We use it cross-platform to manage *nix and Win2000 servers, no problems. -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
