i ran into a 2nd problem when i used MCC to remove the 6.1.0 RPM : it renamed /etc/fetchmailrc & restoring the 5.9.12 RPM didn't restore it with the result that the Fetchmail daemon refused to start: it's needed if Fetchmail is started by root at boot time. it seems to be working now, so i shall leave well alone for the time being. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto
