I have the impression that this is not enough as the old buggy daemons still run. It seems necessary to run: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart (Red Hat, could you add this to the rpm post install script?) ________________________________________________________ Lionel Cons http://home.cern.ch/~cons CERN http://www.cern.ch Hinds' 1st Law of Computer Programming Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
