Neat. For your interest, my wife was sitting there writing something on our MacBook, and the fan was spinning like crazy. SSH'd in, and found MacTrek had left behind a newstartd and was repeatedly forking "players u unknown", which was failing and causing a crash process. I don't *know* that MacTrek will always do this. I thought of checking the server code base used, but there is no source for it in the MacTrek repository. Puzzling. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
