I've yet to see a single question from him on any of the lists to which he posts which had anything directly to do with the list topics - here it would be CentOS specific questions. They're all basic, general programming questions that a thorough reading of the applicable man page would answer just fine. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
