This patch just by-passes the hack altogether. I haven't looked into the details of what the hack does, nor do I know about vic or vat, so this patch may not be the optimal solution. Anyway, I used it on my box, and it did do the trick. There must be other people who stumbled across this quirk. At the very least, it should be clearly documented, where a sysadmin setting up multicast streaming would find it. -- Pierre Ynard For hire - http://www.linkfanel.net/resume.pdf "Une âme dans un corps, c'est comme un dessin sur une feuille de papier." _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !
