In config file you are referring to the .config file that is home to all the switches like --with- ssh and etc? ______________________________________________________________________ Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: (734) 323-8776

Only the new features (amrecover use security-api, auth (ssh), ...) require config change. If you use the 2.4 amrecover, no config change is needed. 2.5.2 is stable on linux, all problem seen on other OS (irix, OSF/1, solaris8, ...) are already fixed in the latest snapshot.
