For business reasins, I cannot change my hostname. Because this ability can be used to forge a connection to a remote machine, I suggest that people not provide this information. It's very easy for the remote system to add access for system ABC if they want that system to have access. I also assume that the poster does not have or has not read the appropriate manual pages on this. -- Bill Davidsen (davidsen@tmr.com) UNIX Codger Will solve problems for money.
