nope. the messages printed are specifically mentioning either 1) that the idle timeout has been exceeded, or 2) that the daily time limit has been exceeded. this is very strange as the machine in question has no timeout daemons (timeoutd, idled, autolog) installed. it's a plain slink install with internet-gateway & dialin-server type packages installed (squid, apache, qmail, mgetty, pppd, etc) i've built many similar boxes and haven't encountered this problem before. it seems specific to slink. craig -- craig sanders
