so why give me the long winded version when a concise one would do?
Sigh. If you want *that* kind of support, go pay for it. The fact is, you got your answer, and Andrew and I were just discussing other things related to it.
Your lack of information in that instance is all too apparant.
That may be so, but isnt this what this list is here for?
LOL, yes, but if you don't provide enough information, how are we to effectively help you? It's like saying:
"My car is broke".
* How is it broke? * Does the engine start? * Does it cut out after two mins, etc.
I agree with, that sometimes I dont supply enough information to get a concise anwers. Also Im not sure if there was much more information I could have given you about this problem. But Andrew Ray appeard to know what I was talking about straight away. So I got the impression you would too. Then garry came out gave me a simple command and bobs your uncle. My problem was solved. With all your linux knowledge I find it hard to believe that you didnt think of this solution straight away!
You see. We should have to generate MORE traffic on this list, just to ascertain what ought to be common facts. Remember that we can only go by what YOU tell us. We're not sat at your computer.
I suggest you look here:
