I agree, wholeheartedly! I don't install this as a Permanent feature of a site, just as a TEMPORARY tool to assist with getting one up and running. I should have qualified my posting with the following caveat: DELETE THIS AFTER USING ON ANY SITE! dmm You can give a man a fish and feed him for a day ... Or, you can teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime	[reply]

There'd be no steps for me. I'd tar up the directory, delete it, lock the account, and explain why later.	[reply]
