That should be true only if you specify a listening address with no command. If it works that way when a command is given on the same line, that's a bug that needs fixing. (I feel moderately authoritative on this matter since I'm the person who added the code back in 1996.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
