And another thing, I also have /etc/cron, while other unixpc folks are talking about writing there own, because they don't have it! Is there really such a violent difference between 3.51 and 3.50? Or (Horrors) are people still running 3.0 (with 7 character C symbols!). My cron LOOKS like a normal cron, It just doesn't start automaticly, you have to create /etc/.cronstart so it will fire up at boottime. (see /etc/rc). Has anyone tried porting BSD uucp to the 3b1? It looks PD, and is HDB compatable. I remember looking at the sources somewhere recently... -- :alex. alex@umbc3.umd.edu
