aac and tag editing
by Rob Kampen 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

As my iphone will not play nice with open source audio formats I'm forced to use aac. I have faac and produce .aac files that seems to play fine with Amarok but no tags. I usually use Easytag (from rpmforge) to deal with metadata on audio files, but despite the advertised ability to do mp4/aac it does not even show the files...... Anyone have any experience or pointers as to how I get the metadata sorted on these files? TIA Rob

Can't remember if I asked this last month, but has anyone seen ECC errors where mcelog gave no o/p at all, even when the errors showed in /var/log/messages? mark

Can CentOS be installed on an extended partition? System has the following partitions: OEM(reserved)-78MB(primary) System-100MB(primary) C-55GB(primary) D-100GB(extended) Can I divide D into 2 parts:70GB and 30GB and install CentOS in the 70GB logical partition?

installing centOS5.5
by Ritika Garg 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Want to install CentOS 5.5 by burning the image on DVD. On the link: http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/, there is a list given. CentOS-5.5-x86 64-bin-DVD.torrent is in the list. So is the download of the .iso possible only through torrent? There is CentOS-5.5-x86 64-netinstall.iso Is this also an .iso which one can download to install CentOS5.5?

Determine next UID number
by John Kennedy 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

When I used Solaris years and years ago there was a command that would be able to tell you the next available non-system UID number for the system (can't remember what it is now, I have slept since then...). Is there an equivalent in CentOS? Thanks, John -- John Kennedy

After system update yesterday, Openwebmail now gives an error: > Undefined subroutine &Compress::Zlib::memGzip called at /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/shares/ow-shared.pl line 1175. I tried to do perl -MCPAN -e shell install Compress::Zlib But it says Compress::Zlib is up-to-date. What do to??

What's the likelihood that two NICs in a row have a faulty flash?

Hi Akemi, Thanks for the reply. >Do you mean no src.rpm of your custom kernel? If so, rpmbuild -bs will build >it. The only source rpm I can find is from the CentOS Extras. FIlename makes it appear that you need the 2.6.18-8.1.8 kernel from CentOS Extras: kvm-kmod-36-1.2.6.18_8.1.8.el5.src.rpm If I try to rebuild that with: rpmbuild --rebuild --target=x86_64 kvm-kmod-36-1.2.6.18_8.1.8.el5.src.rpm I get error that I need the 2.6.18-8 kernel-devel package, if I install that it will build but it results in a kernel module built for the 2.6.18-8 series but I need for my 2.6.18-194 series. So on your advice I jumped into my SPECS dir and tried: rpmbuild -bs --target=x86_64 kvm-kmod.spec and it gave me: Wrote: ~/kend/rpmbuild/SRPMS/kvm-kmod-36-1.2.6.18_194.11.4.el5.1.x64.src.rpm I guess it all comes down to experience. Being not to familiar with rpmbuild I did not know you could do that. Thanks for the tip! >kmod-kvm is built from kvm and it is kernel version independent, >kABI-tracking. This means that, if your custom kernel is kABI >compatible with the distro kernel, the kvm module will continue to >work. I wish that was better documented. So as long as I have kABI checking enabled when I build my custom I should be golden? I apparently did not fully understand kABI either than. I did have some trouble with kABI at first and disabling it solved the issue, not sure if it's still disabled, but I will check. Thanks for the info! I wont call this thread solved until I get the chance to try these two options out and see where I get. Sounds like sticking with using kABI is my best bet either way if case I run into this again in the future with other things. Getting into the visualization world for the first time so I have a learning curve to clime here. Thank you for the tips, I will do some testing then post the results. -KenD Kenneth M DeChick Linux Systems Administrator Community Computer Service, Inc. http://www.medent.com kend(a)medent.com Registered Linux User #497318 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Schshschshchsch.-- The Gorn, "Arena", stardate 3046.2 .

One server not showing SSH port, the other is.
by Dotan Cohen 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

I have two CentOS servers running SSH on two different non-standard ports. So far as I can tell, they have identical /etc/ssh/sshd_config files with the exception of the different port (both are 22xx). However, when running nmap on them, one betrays the port that SSH is running on, and the other does not. I have shut down iptables on both machines and the behaviour remains this way. What could be the cause? Specifically, how can I hide the port that SSH is running on? I'm sorry that I cannot provide the IP addresses, the owner of the servers doesn't want that! I also know how silly it is to do "stealth" ports but I'm not the one making the decision! Thanks! -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com

mtrr error
by Shouben Zhou 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

I need your help and DEL's tech support doesn't provide any help on this one. We have a lot of different type of DELL desktops from old-type hyper-thread cpu, to dual-core and quad-core cpus (most are Xeons). We run all versions of CentOS, but most are latest 5.5 (also up-to-date) and are very happy about that. The primary software on those Linux systems is IDL, which uses OpenGL libraries usually comes with video drivers. Now we are having problem with DELL T3500 with six-core cpu (6 GB memory). This is the only T3500 and six-core cpu we have right now. Here is the fact: 1. on T3500 with six-core, CentOS5.5, video card ATI Profire 2260, IDL 7.1. Using dmesg, it report mtrr: type mismatch for e0000000,10000000 old: uncachable new: >>>>>>>>>> write-combining >>>>>>>>>> mtrr: type mismatch for e0000000,10000000 old: uncachable new: >>>>>>>>>> write-combining when run IDL with simple draw function, got segmentation fault /proc/mtrr: reg00: base=0xdff00000 (3583MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1 reg01: base=0xe0000000 (3584MB), size= 512MB: uncachable, count=1 Then I switched another ATI RV370, the mtrr error is gone, but still got segmentation fault But 2. on T3400 with dual-core, CentOS5.5, same ATI RV370 video card and IDL 7.1, everything works just fine. By the way, we have never had any such problem with all our DELL boxes using CentOS and IDL on T3400, the /proc/mtrr: reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=65536MB: write-back, count=1 reg01: base=0x3ff00000 (1023MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1 reg02: base=0x40000000 (1024MB), size=1024MB: uncachable, count=1 reg03: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size=2048MB: uncachable, count=1 When googling, someone out there suggest manually configure the MTRR, can somebody help us how to configure this six-core's MTRR? I am guessing this must be MTRR related. Is it possible the current Linux kernel doesn't understand six-core very well?

using Linux as a front-end controller for a SAN?
by Rudi Ahlers 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Hi all, I hope someone can shed some light on this for me. Has anyone tried, or have experience with, setting up a Linux server to manage a few NAS devices and thus make them all visible to the clients as one large SAN? Basically, I'm thinking it would be a good idea to combine the current NAS's we have into one large system (typically a SAN?) and then let the clients all connect to one server (for authentication, LUN control, etc), but then when they need to access their drives / devices / LUN's, they get redirected to the specific server directly. I'm also thinking it could be a good way to say some IP addresses, i.e. instead of giving each NAS a public IP, they could all have private IP's and then everyone just connects to the public IP if needed. The servers which will access the NAS's will be on the same physical LAN and will also be on the same private IP subnet to make it easier. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Samba issue accessing shares by IP address
by Alfred von Campe 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

We have a strange issue with Samba shares on our CentOS 5.5 systems in that we can access the shares by name, but not by IP address. First a little background. Recently, our domain controllers were upgraded and I had to tweak the smb.conf file by changing security from DOMAIN to ADS and adding a setting for realm. My smb.conf file looks like this (names and IP addresses have been changed): [global] workgroup = OUR_DOMAIN printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: usershare allow guests = Yes add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ domain logons = No domain master = No security = ADS encrypt passwords = Yes password server = server1 server2 username map = /etc/samba/smbusers usershare max shares = 100 passdb backend = smbpasswd wins support = No wins server = 1.2.3.4 name resolve order = lmhosts host wins log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m realm = COMPANY.COM [scratch] comment = Scratch area for builds inherit acls = Yes path = /scratch read only = No I also had to rejoin the CentOS systems to the domain by running "net ads join -U xxxxx" on each system. I can access the scratch share from any Windows PC in our domain without having to authenticate as long as I use the name of the CentOS system. But if I try to use the IP address of a CentOS system I get the "The network path was not found" error message. We have some systems in a lab from which we need to access the share by IP address. This worked before the recent changes, and I can't figure out which of these changes may have caused this. Any ideas? TIA for any help, Alfred

updating centOS5.3
by Ritika Garg 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

I have centOS5.3 installed in the system. I have never updated it but now am planning to update. While doing "yum update", is there any possibility that the update might hamper the execution of any software/application installed on the system? Is there anything particular to note before updating the system?

Hi, all : I have a thought of writing the script to implement the LDAP mail notice recently. That's to say , after creating the new account and his passwd , then how to send an E-mail to notice him? By the way , I used the LDAP tool called 389 LDAP or openldap recently . Could someone give me some suggestions ? Thanks in advance.....

Scanner missing again
by Mark 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

A while back I posted about my new HP J3600 scan/fax/copy/print-er and how it was visible to the root but not me as an ordinary user. I had no trouble configuring it as a printer, but the scanner was invisible to xsane until I added my user id to the lp group. Now it's gone again, except that it is visible as a usb device to me as a normal user, but xsane can't seem to find it any more. Since this was working on the 2.6.18-194.11.4 kernel, I rebooted that one, but it exhibited the same behavior, so I wrote off the new (...17.1) kernel as innocent. However, I am getting an error during startup on hpssd - it complains about python-dbus being missing. I can't find that either, but there _is_ a dbus-python 0.70 installed and it wants a version > 0.80, so I hauled down 0.83, built it and installed it and that didn't seem to help. I will try that when I have a few minutes to take the system down again, but in the mean time, can anyone hazard a guess at what's wrong? $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 006: ID 03f0:3112 Hewlett-Packard Bus 002 Device 004: ID 22b8:2ac2 Motorola PCS Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04f9:0033 Brother Industries, Ltd Bus 002 Device 003: ID 03f0:0205 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300c It's Bus 2, Dev 6. There is nothing in any of the /var/log/* files to indicate any kind of problem for yesterday, when the problem appeared, other than my fumbled three attempts to input the password for 'sudo xsane'. What's interesting is this: $ sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer. # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter. found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x3112 [Officejet J3600 series]) at libusb:002:005 found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0205 [HP ScanJet 3300C]) at libusb:002:004 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. # Not checking for parallel port scanners. # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports # can't be detected by this program. # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as # necessary. So, sane-find-scanner finds the scanner, but xsane does not??? (For the record, on the 11.4 kernel, sane-find-scanner could _not_ find the scanner, but that was before I installed the newer dbus-python.) This was working perfectly a few days ago. I'm not sure where else to look.... TIA, Mark

recommended way to install source rpms?
by Robert P. J. Day 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

yes, i've read the online docs and followed a link or two to find a simple way to do this, such as: http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/SystemTapOnCentOS so, these days, is that the canonical way to download source rpms? now, note that i'm not arguing about whether this is a good idea. in my circumstances, i want the ability to just "yum download" source rpms so that i can have my students poke around in a source rpm and learn how to build one, nothing more. so, is that reasonable? to just manually add an extra repo file according to that link above (which appears to work perfectly well). frankly, the wiki page on downloading from source: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/SourceInstalls seems just a touch on the hysterical side. i don't disagree that installing packages from the source rpm is probably a questionable idea. but that doesn't justify simply not explaining how to do it easily. my plan is to install yum-utils to get yumdownloader, add the repo file suggested above, then have students: $ yumdownloader --source <package> so they can examine the source of some packages. is the approach i'm suggesting reasonable? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Went with OpenDNS for now
by Ron Blizzard 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

A few weeks ago I asked about firewalls and family filters. Lanny Marcus, I believe, suggested OpenDNS. Just wanted to thank him (and everyone here) for their suggestions. Eventually I would like to learn about firewalls, but I don't really want to run another machine at this time. OpenDNS is trivial to set up on the router and looks to be just about exactly what I wanted. Thanks. Sorry to have dropped out of the other thread without thanking everyone or reporting the results -- I just last night dug up the thread (google search) and saw the OpenDNS suggestion. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.5

should i (theoretically) be able to boot a "git clone"d kernel on 5.5?
by Robert P. J. Day 10 Oct '10

10 Oct '10

toward the end of a class on friday, just for fun, i showed the students how to install git, clone the latest kernel source, and build and install a new kernel. since it was getting close to end of day, i wanted to keep it simple and directed them to just "make defconfig" to see what would happen. the configuration and build of the kernel and modules worked fine, they installed the kernel and modules, then rebooted but the new kernel panicked almost immediately, apparently whining that it couldn't mount the root filesystem. since they were all running LVM-based systems, i assumed that perhaps we needed to explicitly add LVM support during the config step. i'd still like to be able to build and boot a new kernel on an updated centos box so, later today, i'm going to reinstall 5.5 on a system without LVM (just define some fixed filesystems) to see if that makes a difference. has anyone done this? should i be able to? to recap, all i want to do on a fully-updated centos 5.5 box is * install the development tools * install git * clone the latest kernel repo * make defconfig * make * install new kernel and modules * reboot to new kernel i'm willing to accept that it won't be a perfect kernel and perhaps some drivers will be missing, but at the very least, it should boot without panicking. again, anyone else done this? should it work? i'll try this later today as soon as i have access to my test system again. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Software bridge setup in RHEL 5/CentOS 5 questions, possible bug.
by Robert Heller 10 Oct '10

10 Oct '10

I have a question about software bridge setup (initscripts). If one sets up a bridge network: ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br0 HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ifcfg-eth1 DEVICE=eth1 ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br0 HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=nnn.nnn.nnn.255 IPADDR=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=nnn.nnn.nnn.0 ONBOOT=yes Deep in the guts of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth all of the proper magic using brutil is done EXCEPT it does not put the NICs into promisc mode. ALL of the documentation for setting up a software bridge talks about setting the NICs into promisc mode. My question: Which is wrong? The documentation for setting up a software bridge? OR /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth? *I* have patched /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth to include the line: /sbin/ip link set dev ${DEVICE} promisc on just after the lines /sbin/ip addr flush dev ${DEVICE} 2>/dev/null /sbin/ip link set dev ${DEVICE} up Should I file a bug report?

kmod-kvm for custom CentOS 5.5 kernel
by Ken Dechick 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

Hello all! I have actual need to build a custom kernel.(Have to change Preemption model to 'server' and turn off Preempt the big kernel lock, ect) I have heard bits and pieces about these changing defaults in newer kernels but I haven't investigated that yet. This of course is not a problem at all, made my needed changes to the source code and successfully build both the standard and the Xen kernel using the rpmbuild guide from this site found here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel Built: kernel-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.1.x64.x86_64 kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.1.x64.x86_64 The standard kernel works well, I haven''t messed around much with Xen yet (I get an "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format") if I try to boot to the xen kernel - I have Xen installed correctly I believe: [kend@test225: ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5.x86_64 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.1.x64.x86_64 xen-libs-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5.x86_64 xen-devel-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5.x86_64 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.x86_64 xenwatch-0.5.3-3.el5.x86_64 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.x86_64 kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.x86_64 kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.1.x64.x86_64 But I need to nail down this KVM issue as I would rather use full hardware for my virtualization. Problem I have is that I cannot find a source rpm package for kmod-kvm that will work with my kernel. There are instructions on the KVM site on how to build external module for older kernels, and I tried that, but to make a long story short, mt 2.6.18-194 kernel has no available source rpms that I can use for my custom kernel. Can anyone point me to a source package for kmod-kvm that will work with my 2.6.18-194.11.4.el5 kernel base?? I have spent 2 full days digging through packages on the web and I cannot come up with anything. Thinking of just going with trying out Xen instead, but of course I have an dd issue there too. Any help with either of these issues would be very much appreciated!

Kickstart - URL command
by Jörgen Maas 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

Hi list, I'm fiddling with CentOS 5.5 and kickstarted installations via cobbler. In my environment I need to install using the HTTP protocol over a proxy. Does anyone know why the URL command doesn't support the --proxy method? I get an Anaconda error message stating that this method is not supported. Even though i found out about that method in documentation. Relevant section in my kickstart: # install system install url --url=http://1.2.3.4/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-5.5-x86_64/ --proxy= http://5.6.7.8:12345 text firstboot --disable reboot Anyone with suggestions? Other methods of getting this thing to install over a proxy server? Thanks in advance! Regards, Jorgen Maas

looking for a decent free / Open Source flash media server
by Rudi Ahlers 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

Hi all, I hope someone can help me with this one. I am looking for a decent free / Open Source flash media server software which I can run on a Linux server. Adobe's Flash Media Server (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/) is very expensive and not within any reasonable cost range (R40K+). The Fladh Media Server uses the RMTP This is needed to run the following Joomla extension: http://www.joomplace.com/live-conference/live-conference.html which basically allows us to setup a Flash tutorial conference setup, similar to podcasts. We currently use CentOS Linux + cPanel, as well as CentOS + VirtualMin but I'm open to suggestion for other control panels as well if need be. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Radeon HD 4550 driver
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

Upgraded the kernel to the latest, then tried to rebuild the proprietary Catalyst driver for a Radeon HD 4550 on a Dell Optiplex 980. The install dies, with a c error. Anyone else out there succeed in building one on the 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5-x86_64 kernel? I went to the ATI website, and the "installation instructions" include that it needs a) 32 bit software (which? dunno) and b) a couple of Xfree86 packages (huh? why? dunno, probably they haven't updated this page in years). Btw, it's fine for single head, but a relatively ordinary dual-head setup, with what Nvidia calls "individual desktops" ("spanning" seems to mean the same thing on both monitors). The xorg driver seems to work for single head, but no joy with dual head. For that matter, anyone have any contacts? I'm still mousing around the ATI website trying to find an appropriate contact. mark

I got pulled off on some other projects and am just now getting back to this. Evidentally, I had spent too much time looking at this last week. When I opened up /etc/passwd, it was specifly the default group for the user to be 500, not 1000 that I thought I saw. I changed this to 1000, and everything works now.

On the first server (CentOS 5.4 i386) running sudo 1.6.9pl7-5 (from base), here are the results of touching a file as a user, as root and as a user sudoing to root: user: touch file - result is 600 root: touch file - result is 644 user: sudo touch file - result is 644 On the second server (CentOS x86-64) running sudo 1.7.2p1-7 (from updates), here are the results of the same actions: user: touch file - result is 600 root: touch file - result is 644 user: sudo touch file - result is 600 ** this differs ** On the second system, if I downgrade sudo to the base version, it behaves the same as on the first server, so this appears to be sudo version specific rather than an i386 vs x86-64 difference. Looking at the changelogs at the package home site, I don't see anything obvious that covers this change: http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/stable.html#1.7.0 http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/stable.html#1.7.1 http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/stable.html#1.7.2 Does anyone know how to change the behavior with the umask values when using the newer version of sudo? This is causing us some issues when sudoing to update an SVN working directory used by our Puppet server. Thanks, David Goldsmith

Zoneminder

I have a few dvr's that I am contemplating converting to Zoneminder (don't know any other app) and would prefer to use CentOS over fedora obviously but the only rpm I see exists for Fedora. I don't want the hassle of manually compiling this, as we have our own config mgmt. Anyone using this rpm (srpm recompiled) in CentOS or know of a solution that exists? Thanks! jlc

Thanks a lot for this check-list (I recommend it for others in the future). I had already checked most of the points, but I still played around with your ideas, without success But, this remark: > I've never done ldaps to port 636, only TLS to port 389, so some of my > comments may be slightly off-base in your situtation. made me think of checking what should be the difference between a START_TLS on a plain ldap port and ldaps on the ssl port In /etc/ldap.conf: for ldap + START_TLS this is indeed > ssl start_tls but for ldaps (my case) this should be: ssl on Changing the value of 'ssl' to 'on' solved my problem! (and this explains why my ldapsearch queries were working: as you pointed out, /etc/ldap.conf is for the configuration of nss_ldap) IMHO, the comments in /etc/ldap.conf could be a bit more explicit on the 'on' value: ... # OpenLDAP SSL mechanism # start_tls mechanism uses the normal LDAP port, LDAPS typically 636 #ssl start_tls #ssl on ... Thanks a lot for your help!

does ssh-copy-id not use "id_rsa.pub" file by default?
by Robert P. J. Day 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

yesterday, i was demoing how to use ssh-copy-id on centos 5.5 to copy one's public key to another machine and account so you don't need to type the password anymore. i used "ssh-keygen" to create the standard RSA-format files, then checked the man page for ssh-copy-id, which reads: ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine ... If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used the above seems to suggest that, as long as i'm happy copying over the default id_rsa.pub file, all i need type is: $ ssh-copy-id -i barney(a)192.168.2.19 /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found $ clearly, that doesn't work. but if i simply add in the name of the file, it's fine: $ ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub barney(a)192.168.2.19 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ any reason for that? the man page clearly states that that file is the default, but it's obvious i still need to type its name. am i missing something? is the man page wrong? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
