Its been tested (tar-1.14's) and found wanting. However, I've been using the latest 1.15-1 for about 3 days now with no detected problems. If not that, then back up to 1.13-19 or 1.13-25, both are known good with amanda. >-- >Matt Lung >Midwest Tool & Die, Corp. > > > > > > >---------------------------------------------------------------- >This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
