Though I greatly appreciate the help, I'll try to keep the annoying questions to a minimum :) Does the brain good to do some thinking on ones own sometimes :) I'll be sure to call again should I hit another wall. My current exercise is creating a script to scan through my systems log files and autoblock the script kiddies who insist on trying their luck with my SSH server. Seemed like a nice, simple way to try out a few different ideas with Ruby. Might even post it when I'm done and see what you guys think. We'll see how it goes :) Thanks again. ~Neowulf
