Connected to ozone.blackened.com. Escape character is '^]'. OK 17 0 SNAP_16_1f CVSup server ready Looks fine to me. CVSUP is the only application not working on the box.

I will have to try that tonight, going out to the gym right now. I have looked briely even at the code and can't see anything out of the ordinary myself, it works fine on all of my other 8 x86 boxes (from 486 to dual XEON, running a mix of 4.X and 5.X) :) YAY patch testing :) I will e-mail the port maintainer first before filing a PR, but if anyone else has any suggestions they would be apprechiated. > > Cheers, > > Matthew > > -- > Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks > Savill Way > PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow > Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 > 1TH UK Thanks Matthew for replying, very much apprechiated. -- Chris Demers admin@govital.net www.govital.net www.govitalhosting.com
