It truly is a gift to have you personally answer questions for these couple of years that I've been on the masq list. I've got the lowdown on SuSE 6.1 and not too many people I talked to are happy. I received a set of SuSE 6.2 and will see if it improves. The SuSE 6.2 was a loaner, too bad no one from SuSE would do that much seeing that they *forgot* some basic modules in the SuSE 6.1 version I bought. Here is their website that stated it too !!! http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/dbloms_no_masquerade_modules.html _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
