Wow, I pulled an RTFM.. :-)

Same here - apparently upgrading to the latest version fixed this earlier 
problem.

Agreed, but for itty bitty sysadmins in training, like myself, some of 
this is still unfamiliar... I figured it was going to be seconds, simply 
because most time units in Linux are counted in seconds - but then I've 
seen configuration tools that use their own units, so I wanted to be safe.

Thanks again for the help,

Harry
