Tnks,
 But that won't do it on  the system that we are using at work.
 ** btw: is not my system ***

 vat complaints that there is no multicast support on the system.
 So I guess I have to ask Van Jacobsen's team what they did
 to get vat and BSDI working. I didn't have any problems getting
 vat to work with FreeBSD even though vat was compiled under 
 BSDI :)
