ok, i didn't actually try it as i didn't have my RPM CDs handy. i'm reading out of an IBM developerworks tutorial called "Tuning Red Hat for maximum performance" (for which you have to register, as you do for all developerworks tutorials, www-106.ibm.com/developerworks). https://www6.software.ibm.com/developerworks/education/l-redhat/l-redhat-3-6.html if anyone wants to take a look. at this point, i'm wondering if that whole page is just bogus. rday -- Robert P.
