'Tis certainly so. I myself had a homegrown script that I added to /etc/init.d by hand, but then I heard of the 'ipmasq' package from this list, and tried it. The ipmasq scripts were nicer and more complete than the ones I had written, so I decided to keep them, and toss mine. :) There's certainly no need to install ipmasq if you're satisfied with your own scripts, I think. =wl -- Albert ``Willy'' Lee, Emacs user, game programmer "They call me CRAZY - just because I DARE to DREAM of a RACE of SUPERHUMAN MONSTERS!"
