I noticed this last month when the monthly run output notice sent to roots mail stated = __________________Snip_____________________ TO:root@davez.org Subject: davez.org monthly run output Doing login accounting: total 0.00 -- End of monthly output -- _______________End Snip___________________ At first I thought maybe a isolated case but this month the same thing happened, the end of month accounting shows no logins and when I check the log files they are all empty 0Kb prior to todays activity. Anyone else seen this or have any ideas what may be wrong? Thanks in advance for any help provided - Dave
