If it just plain doesn't work in 4.8-STABLE then okay, but I want to be sure that this is the problem. As I mentioned earlier I am now willing just to do a reinstall with 4.8-STABLE on several servers, but I am very curious about the real cause of this. Basically, I just want to know why this isn't working. --- Dustin Puryear Puryear Information Technology, LLC Providing expertise in the management, integration, and security of Windows and UNIX systems, networks, and applications.
