I didn't mean to sound harsh, and I apologize if I did, I was in a hurry, and just wanted to forward your message to the list so that more people could see the message and potentially help you. Strictly speaking, I shouldn't have done that, as it's considered quite impolite to forward personal mail to a list, but since you didn't actually say much except including the log files, I concluded that no harm would be done. > What is the protocol?

When you are responding to something in a list thread, send your reply to the list. That's considered "the right thing". It is generally frowned upon to reply in private, although there are occasions where it is appropriate to do so. In this case, you should probably have sent your reply to the list instead of to me, partly because you want as many people as possible to get a look at the logs to see if there is anything wrong there. Also, if you discuss something with someone off-list, you should always get their consent to forward something they wrote to a list. I didn't do that with your message, and for that I apologize. Does that explain things to you? Now, to your original question: I must admit I haven't had the time to take a good look at your logs, although nothing jumped out at me. I will take a closer look at them, hopefully someone else with more experience can also do so. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive."
