Its something to do with the 'crosslink' process linking across file systems. Usually the server only needs to make a soft link, but sometimes it needs to make a new copy. I think that there's a flag that you need to start INND with to make it do the right thing. Joe -- Josef Karthauser Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net Pavilion Internet plc.
