Excellent, thanks for all your help on this issue folks! I have recomplied the port on my stable box... Now the question is, how do I test this to make sure its working correctly ? I did a grep ^ServerName httpd.conf | awk '{print "lynx -dump http://"$2 " > /dev/null"}' | sh to hit all of my virtuals and there was nothing telling error logs. Is there a way to check for sure that it has solved the problem ? ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa, Network Admin * mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications Corp, * http://www.sentex.net/mike Cambridge, Ontario * 01.519.651.3400 Canada * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
