Dear list,
I want to start clarifying some points that have been suggested...

Whenever I execute this command as root I get a very long output that can be seen at:
http://phyllotis.unm.edu/tmp/test.txt
there is a whole bunch of info that I'm unable to decrypt in that file... maybe some of the more advanced folk can tell me what is going on!
I have to be thankfull to all the poeple that's helping with this I appreciate it!
thanks,
