Just a side note on this... the reason the web manager asks you to note the time and date is so that the administrator can check the logs - /var/log/messages quite frequently gives a specific clue to the cause of the error... usually the daemon that is responsible for the error will identify itself with it's own (more verbose) error message in the log... -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
