Well, I understand I finally did get on here. Still haven't figured out any other way, and my current way leaves me a problem. I never see my posts. Any hints? Anybody got a guess for why I can post but never see my own posts? ObHack: Well, not much of one now (I'm still not much of a hacker, Unforch), but how about this. While at a customer site, I hosed the system login script on their Novell (novel?? :-) network. Seems anyone could login who didn't have supervisor rights, but without supervisor rights, I couldn't fix the login script problem (I knew what I did wrong, but I couldn't fix it). Well, I finally figured out how to get in, get the login script to execute, but skip the one thing causing all the trouble. Actually went in as supervisor. May have been a way to get in as a user, get switched over, and fix it. But I don't know how. Randy
