It doesn't happen that often that configfiles of programs change in an uncompatible way. Most lickely the program/daemon will fail to start and you can easely repair it by running apkg -u for the package containing the program/daemon. The advantage of apkg -u is that you can see what changed in default configfiles and accept or decline the changes line by line. >Thanks, > >--Eric >-- Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
