The approach most folks use is to grep the rn sources for all instances of .UUCP and manual change it. I've done a hack to "rn" which adds a DOMAINNAME parameter and a "%k" interpolation. Drop me a line if you want these patches. -- Chip Rosenthal / chip@vector.Dallas.TX.US / Dallas Semiconductor / 214-450-5337 "I wish you'd put that starvation box down and go to bed" - Albert Collins' Mom
