Yes, both exist.



As far as i see it, that is the problem, they are presant in /etc.


Maybe you could be a little more spesific in you explanation.!!



They *were* there, yes. I wasn't sure if I could just get rid of them, but in the end I did and everything works all right. According to something I found via Google, they are temporary files 'left over' by the Mandrake Control Centre. The thing is, they get 'left over' again any time I reboot the machine. Presumably, this shouldn't happen. Could it be a sign of something wrong that needs putting right?
Cheers,
