Just from personal experience. When I ran a similar script, the reflector http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html? it came back asking me for user and pass, tho I had supplied that on the command line. Whereas, when I ran the same thing using the reflector http://checkip.dyndns.org, it didn't. Could be a difference in the script <shrug>, just know it worked better with the dyndns one. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book. -- B.
