[root@rat X11]# ls -l prefdm
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         1380 Mar  1  2002 prefdm

it doesn't have an "l". this means...it's not pointing anywhere?

thank you!

however, the last time i tried to edit my iptables (with my paths messed up) i
took down our intranet access to th www, because the iptables script couldn't
find 'ifconfig'. i guess i will try that again, now that everything is great,
when it doesn't matter if i have to reboot. now, i remember how this all
started...something to do with my firewall...

thnx,
