Dunno. I would have guessed they would be - why make things harder for themselves? But you do have to present your machine as having the correct hostname: the thing that'd be like co1234567-a that you should have noted down somewhere. I'm just running mine via a firewall appliance with a web interface, so I just had to enter that "co..." string into the appropriate form. Oh, that and tell the firewall to pretend that its MAC address was identical to the MAC address of the ethernet card that it was set up with. luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
