Excuse me. I am in no way a Linux expert however I found that I aslways
had better restults using the Linux packages provided by the Linux
distrobution and it was a bad idea to 'change things'. The configuration
provided always worked well.

Are your packages from your distro? Are their configurations the ones
provided by your distro?
