Yes, I know and use screen often. Not a superuser by any means but I'm familiar with it. The trouble is messages like those I referred too pop up as soon as you longin (in console (text) mode). Is it possible to make `screen' your login shell? I've never looked into that, but I've never heard of anyone doing it either. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
