actually I only exprienced it with 2.2.7 myself, and I'm using 2.2.9 now. Pre 2.2.5 has a bug in the tcp though, so you may want to go with 2.2.5. I had much success with 2.2.5 and the only reason I am running 2.2.9 is to test the latest glibc 2.1.1 in potato. -- ----- -- - -------- --------- ---- ------- ----- - - --- -------- Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian GNU/Linux OpenLDAP Dev - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Choice of the GNU Generation ------ -- ----- - - ------- ------- -- ---- - -------- - --- ---- - --
