Honestly. It's *so* much better to > get an answer on the list than to fight for a week... I don't mind fighting for a week if it works at the end and I have a better understanding. At this point it doesn't work but I do have a better understanding. Most software takes more than 10 minutes to understand and configure and I wouldn't be confident in my ability to support it campus wide if I'd only spend 10 mins on it. I don't believe in asking for help without doing as thorough as job as I can in experimenting and learning. Normally between time, trial and error and google things will work. In this case, unfortunately not. It's the first time I've had to post to a mailing list for help in many years and, no offence intended, it feels like I'm admitting defeat. > My deployingradius.com site?
