I ran the system-config-authentication GUI on some CentOS 4.5 systems and they failed to change the contents of that file as appropriate. All I had to do was change the "host" and "base" entries to point to my server and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if this is an isolated problem or a real, live bug, I'm going to test it further to see if I can tell. -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN jay.leafey at mindless.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
