Many thanks for the fantastic patch! I've made the small change so that "host:0" will still try tcpip but ":0" will use the Unix domain socket in /tmp. As you say, this is the normal convention, but it also helps since a machine may have many different names (e.g. host.domain.com, host, alias.domain.com, localhost) etc. > It also adds a new option -interface.

I just want to check I've not broken anything with my small changes to your patch and then I'll do an upload in a few days. Adrian -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windows NT - Unix in beta-testing.
