I'll be darned. I just turned on the logs and did a quick test and the logging works fine. I can't believe I never knew that was there... These logs could have helped me several times. The database on one server was 21MB. I do a "--cleanup" once a day, maybe I'll do that a bit more often. After the cleanup I just did it's down to 6MB.
Your info on the IP addresses is excellent, thank you. I have an additional mnet question for you though. How would I actually know what the subnet is that is used for the host IP address? It effectively could be anything, right? From a /8 to a /30. Thanks Francis, you are a huge help! ******************snip****************************** > >In the mnet entries I'm also confused.

If where is another active mnet using 65.53 to 65.55 networks like this = one "65.54.0.0,255.255.255.0,255.252.0.0" the resulting ip will be = 65.52.0.0 too, 'mapping' from one network to another. If it's not the same ip = owner, this could be a problem (bypass glst). The rule mnet=3D65.52.0.0,255.255.255.0,255.255.0.0 will do exaclty the = same think without this 'cross networks' problem. Except very rare cases, the 'Glst_Network_Mask' is at least same or = more 'restrictive' than the 'Matching_Network_Mask' ******************snip****************************** - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
