Thanks Haywire! 127.0.0.1 worked fine. I'm using Mozilla-Firebird and could not find how to disable. I do have the extension that lets me modify all prefs, just could not find it. And I found your reply stumbling through the archives; search in acrchives is not working, so it is the scroll and hope you find the keywork that works. Find in page in the browser works ok, *if* you get the correct keyword. Anyway, now I have to admit that I viewed WebMin as a security problem and never used it. Now I feel like an idiot, seeing how powerful it is - at least I learned something new today..' old dawg, new trick! ;-) Tim -- _ ( ) ASCII ribbon campaign against HTML e-mail x registered Linux user # 329428 / \ GnuPG KeyID 6B5A70DF www.keyserver.net
