No you did help. You made me think in ways I wouldn't have otherwise.
Like if you didn't mention the prob with sphinx not working, I
wouldn't have even thought to go back and undo what I had done with

thank you for the link. I will check it out as soon as I have the
chance. For now I have to get back to the reason this server was being
setup to begin with before my friend shows up to kick my @$$ for not
being done already!
