I've heard several different things, some with cvs, some with downloading src.tar or something... I've looked at the handbook and FAQ, but I haven't been able to find a definitive list of the steps you need to take. I would prefer the CVSup method, but if I have to do it another way (I'm trying to avoid reformatting and doing a fresh install) I will. When you upgrade in this manner, what happens to files like hosts.allow or other system config files that might be replaced? Thanks, Paul -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Paul D. Schmidt EnterAct, L.L.C.
