Thanks This fixed it. ( I am on IRC all the time ) Will this error return if I have to reboot? Just wanting to know cause I'd rebooted recently, and I don't want to have to do this every time I reboot. BTW: I do remember something about a bind/auth update when I did dselect a few days ago. Could that be the cause? -- Michelle Alexia "Jade" Storm Dragon Impersonating a Human and failing.
