Ah, but it does. It's just that other FreeBSD systems (like Yahoo) still have them turned on, so the Annex is dropping its guts regardless. As has been mentioned, the _correct_ response is to tell your provider that their Annex is _BROKEN_, and that they need to upgrade its software (which I believe is a free exercise, but you can ransack Xylogics' website for details there) preferably before you take your business elsewhere. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
