There might be clues there. It will also ive you an understanding on how other packages in the distro might be linked and depend on the package you are trying to replace. In this case - use the httpd.spec provided in the httpd sources package, mod_ssl is built at the same time as httpd binaries are. Just remember to rebuild everytime there is a security issue, and everytime anything that depends on httpd has a security issue. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
