All editing right now is via VI, I abcked off Webmin for a bit and will
take the format problem there probably today. I wasn't getting it to
compile, and my error might have been other problems in my interface
file. Just did not find the ${EXT_IF} format in the URL docs (perhaps
just did not dig enough).

Knew that, but thought it might be a 'good thing' to see what martians
were coming my way. To get bothered by one that I know about was the
pain. Know noise blocks catching interesting noise. But interesting
that a redirect is a martian. Going to have to look that up. Martians
is an area that I have not followed for years.
