In fact according to my       reading of the nodelist summary near the bottom of it INA is the only flag        that       relates to such.              If you know of another method please let me know.                            Vince              --- Linux/Mbse v1.1.02/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20120229        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK (2:250/1)    |
