Have you changed anything recently? Nope. Later it started acting up again and then complained something about running out of swap.

I think it understands I mean business now. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
