I believe that even with the latest code, Greg does not recommend that it be used for production systems, and I recall relatively recent comments by Matt Dillon to the same effect. Anyone who is brave enough (or stupid enough) to use it on a production system gets what they deserve. While very promising, it's still not production-grade code. That said, I still think I'm going to give it a serious go on our Diablo/dreaderd news reader servers. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
