Hi - I seem to remember that happening to me. Back under version 1.4.x. I do remember waiting for 1.6 to come out, and when it finally did, it was a breath of fresh air. Thanks for the information, though. It was things like that which made me dis like it. However, overall, I do enjoy using Zabbix. Thanks -dant _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
