I think Adam's problem is just a configuration one. Actually, I forget the details of setting up whoami to work (even though I guess I did it at one point since it works fine for me!;-)) but I'm quite sure I remember it being discussed on the list. One could always check the archives!;-) In any case, as you pointed out, "fixing" whoami is not critical to solving Adam's current problem. Larry Hall lhall AT rfk DOT com RFK Partners, Inc.
