Hello! I tried to use stat(1) to see the last time a file was downloaded through Apache. To my surprise, all three dates displayed by stat are long ago, even though the web-server's log is showing downloads from a just a few hours back. The file-system used to be mounted noatime, but I turned that option off some time ago. If I read one of those files (with head(1) or file(1), for example), the atime is updated. But if Apache serves it out -- it is not... There is no caching in Apache either. Any ideas? Thanks! -mi
