It expects the SEQNUM from the kernel, not a random one from you! You will always get timeouts everytime you use your own SEQNUM, like the timeout after the start of udevd.

I'll go test that and see what's happening. thanks, Kay ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
