Hi Kevin,
   Thanksyou for you reply.  While I did not search the archives for this
problem, I feel as though I have read more material in my Linux books and
other documents trying to solve this than I did in the first two years of
college. ;-)


No problem, we all have to learn somehow.


In my experience with technical newsgroups, the criticism most often levied to those posting is not supplying either enough information or information not detailed enough to enable others to adequately determine the problem without a series of more questions. It was my intent to describe the problem as best I could. Sorry it was so lengthy.


Absolutely true... Unfortunately when I read your message I knew the solution to the problem in the first few sentences<G>. I'm actually surprised I didn't see your previous discussion of this with Russell; did that discussion happen on the devfs list? I've been watching for these things to come up ever since I created the patches to fix the problem and I usually jump right in and suggest the fix.



Thankyou for the patches.


You're welcome. Let us know if anything still doesn't work the way you expect after you give them a try.
