If you make sure that you use the same crypt lib on both it'll be fine. I might have a copy of a crypt lib that I used back with compiling TinyMUSE 1.x on FreeBSD 2.0.5. It worked fine for the db SunOS<->AIX<->FreeBSD. I'll look in my archives and send it to you if I still have it. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen J.
