All set on protectbase.

I will have to look into priorities.  Seem to recall about this, but I 
am sure whatever I did over on Centos 4 did not carry over to Centos 5.  
Protectbase did, as that is easy and well covered on the wiki with 3rd

I do a lot of searching in a message base of over 25K messages before I 
post here.  Of course the thing with searching is knowing what to search 
for!
