One other thing occurs. I have a server which usually runs headless. I occasionally see the server appear to lock up for a few minutes. It is also running Apache. I have yet to put any web content on it and it is only accessible from the LAN. NTL, I finally tracked it down to an Apache server process. I assume it is doing some regular house cleaning task whether needed or not. -- Dazed_75 a.k.a. Larry Please protect my address like I protect yours. When sending messages to multiple recipients, always use the BCC: (Blind carbon copy) and not To: or CC:. Remove all addresses from the message body before sending a Forwarded message. This can prevent spy programs capturing addresses from the recipient list and message body.
