   Right, should have mentioned that. Thanks, Vince.    
      
   I should also note that I ended up with UID's and GID's both =${USER}, not   
   ${USER}.BBS as a I believe MBSE expects. Doing more testing and checking today   
   to make sure there aren't any surprises, or corrections needed, there.
