OK, I will ask them to delete these packages. I will release a new "DarwinStreamingServer" suite without the damn web admin stuff, I think I will drop the "DarwinStreamingServer-Media" package too. That damn admin stuff is a piece of junk anyway, so I don't think people would miss it too much... Now Per Øyvind Karlsen stepped forward about the "dsniff" package, it will maybe be fixed tonight or tomorrow. This package was a nightmare to get it to compile, once it did, I ran the softwares and didn't notice anything strange..., the thing is they don't segfault right away... I think it would be very interesting and also very useful to have the "dsniff" package working... So anyone who can help out to solve this mystery is invited to my hall of fame :) Chears. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT Networks Check the "Modules For Apache2" status page at: http://www.deserve-it.com/modules_for_apache2.html
