Due to inheritance (export) of environment variables I usually start Apache after doing a: # for i in `export | cut -f3 -d' '|cut -f1 -d'='`; do export -n $i; done Which cleans them all up nicely. One reason for doing this is so that phpinfo() shows all these nice Enviroment variables which could reveal one thing or the other of some persons setup. Maybe it's an idea to let the 'startup' program (may it be httpd or apachectl) to filter these environment variables too ? "they also take up memory", oooh ah :) Greets, Jeroen
