Let's say I have an object "A" at the origin, and a known surface normal
<x,y,z>.  I want to find the rotation vector <Rx,Ry,Rz> of the surface
normal <x,y,z>, such that when I rotate "A":

object{ A rotate<Rx,Ry,Rz> }

it lies along the surface normal.

I tried doing this as follows:

object{ A rotate<atan2d(Norm.y,Norm.z), atan2d(Norm.x,Norm.z),
atan2d(Norm.x,Norm.y)>

but I seem to be getting strange results.

Anyone have code they used for doing this?  Or know how in general?
Thanks for the help.
