What he's referring to is that new options are added to the config.pl file with every version. So you have to go back and edit the new config file to apply your changes to the new file. I believe there's some script that does this somewhat automatically if you're installing from source; but no good administrator will install from source. So the idea is that the config.pl file holds the defaults; the config-local.pl holds the changes to the system-wide defaults; and you can freely clobber the old config.pl with a new one, and not worry about overwriting someone's changes. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
