	Yah, this is a great and useful tool, particularly if you're
using a system (like Solaris) where netstat won't give you the process
ID that's bound to a port.  It's something I was going to bring up and
demo eventually, but you beat me to it.  [grin]

	I usually have to add it separately to the systems I set up; I
can't recall one where it was installed by default.

	Nope, it's a good tool.  Thanks for the post.

Cheers,
