Thanks for the info. Doing things via the command line seems very
efficient (and probably a lot more flexible) if you know the right
commands. It's a little more intimidating for the newbie though (I
always feel like I'm more likely to mess something up compared to going
through the gui) although that probably just due to lack of experience.
I guess this is my chance to get some.

Thanks again. -Pat

Some good advice if you want to familiarize yourself with CLI.
You can always practicing your command line skill with your own account.

Even better, make a test account. Then open a terminal and type `su -
testaccount` and you are working there.

The wise thing is to give root a different coulour (done by default with
10.3) Read this: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/

Thanks for all the suggestions. Does indeed sound like very good
advice, and relieves a lot of the worry of experimenting at the CLI.

My only problem now is finding the time. Earning a living keeps getting
in the way! ;^)

Thanks -Pat
