Yes. I've thought of adding mechanism to `updatedcc -K` to sleep a random number of minutes between 0 and 30, but it does not seem necessary yet. Recent versions have a hack that keeps `updatedcc -K` from working more often than once per week. That has solved some excess bandwidth problems I was having at one server. > Is there more doc than the --help switch?

I will fix it. Vernon Schryver [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ DCC mailing list [email protected] http://www.rhyolite.com/mailman/listinfo/dcc
