<smack to the forehead> I used to know that. Sadly, I even looked at the man page yesterday before posting and still missed that. Thanks for jogging my brain. It obviously needed it. FWIW, I will be setting up a log server in the near future, but we need this production machine now, and I've got a couple of other priorities, so I just have an xterm open for monitoring it's logs in real time so I can start to understand what is normal and what is not for now. The log server will negate this step. Thanks! Sent - Gtek Web Mail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
