Lynn; Upgrading to 2.4.22 is a goal, but depends on available patches - 2.4.21 was a failure for us. But this is a goal due to technical and security reasons - not in response to SCO. I don't mind about SCO. And if they try to sue me, I'll ask my big brothers Eibiem and Aitschpi to stand up and help me to beat SCO up. kp ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
