Thanks. I do recall one thing. I was installing some perl scripts to run mail reports for postfix. I had to use CPAN do install some files/modules that the scripts needed. One thing cpan said was I needed to install NET::FTP (I think that was the one but memory is shot). when I ran it it spent like an hour d/l all kinds of things one being perl 5.6.1 but when I do a perl --version I am running 5.003. I see that doing a du -x -h / shows 34megs in root/.cpan/build. could that be one problem with my diskspace ? thanks >On Sun, 4 Nov 2001, brain_damaged wrote: > >> Doing a df shows my / being 108% used.
