Humm, I had it figured to be that. Now the question is: If its compiled with something else, how can I extract that and prove it? Or should I simply figure out a way to put it in the login?, which I am not sure is a kdm screen. It may be a gdm. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
