It doesn't sound right to me. jaspu may not be quite right. In my opinion, a computer account is a relationship amongst the following things: 1. A computer. 2. A user. 3. A set of access rights for that user on that computer. 4. A giver of those rights. jaspu seemed pretty close. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
