No, I am on Linux.

Okay, but I doubt anyone else is doing that, and they have a [TAG] 
displayed in front of their Username.  Just wondering why mine isn't 
working, and what other (Synchronet) users are using for their command 
line...

Is the [TAG] importaint in some way?  Do you care if it's included in 
the user's login?

Thanks.
