Lucky you , I'm using a computer with a at the moment not used harddisk (spinning without function ;) I know disengage the power ;)) > > This works great, no more fan going on, and the power light turns > yellow from green.

I've got two links here at hand http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/time.html (Linux Clock and Time) and public NTP time servers http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.htm look for one "near" you and try if they respond then you can change the setting.

No as the eigersteinbeta accepts connections initiated from the firewall. If not you'll notice them in your logfile with the number of the rule indicating which rule was causing the deny. > Thanks for any replies! good luck Eric Wolzak http://leaf.sf.net/devel/ericw _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
