Just not as often. Every 21 mounts or whatever, or 180 days or whatever. A wise default, I will agree. I just wish it came with a message that said "DON'T PANIC!" in nice friendly letters, so that my clients didn't *freak* when they saw all the warning nessages. I also wish that it would default to doing its *damnedest* to fix the problems rather than dumping them at a cold and lonely # prompt and leaving them with a "broken" system. If I want it to be conservative about fixing stuff, by God, I can tell it to dump me at a command prompt. -Steve
