However, it goes on to give an example where it is used for hours, i.e., 2h40m for two hours and 40 minutes. There is also no reporting of the 'm' unit in the time field. Perhaps this confusion warrants some source code scrutiny. I also recall that login.conf was inadvertently omitted from the /etc area when 2.2.2-RELEASE was released which caused some mailing list and news group activity. -- Regards, Normhome | help
