Oh yeah, I better also mention that that was the x86-64 edition of FC2 on a dual Opteron box and to make it perfectly clear, that is a different box to what I have now which is just a P4 box running Centos 4 which I keep updated and therefore Centos 4.3. > > It's tough for people to help if you don't provide the details and/or if > you are bastardizing CentOS. Sir, I stated the use of Centos 4.3, there are no updates for cyrus-sasl* available and you are naive to think that everything in RHEL4/Centos 4 works properly. Look at the mess Redhat made with their kernel vm patch for those who require performance in addition to stability. I take offense at the notion that reporting problems with distribution provided software is equivalent to 'bastardizing CentOS' especially since I took pains to point out that the code comes from Redhat and not from the Centos project.
