This is the third time *I've* seen your message [that I remember]. I'm not subsribed to the digest, so I get the messages as soon as somebody sends them. Usually, the digest stores up messages for a day or more and then sends them all at once. To answer your question, the documentation you want is at: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/userguide/en/reference/017.html#157 (Chapter 7 : MSEC -- Mandrake SECurity tools.) The problem you had finding it is a common one, as it's listed under the MSEC keyword. Jay Summet On Thu, 18 May 2000, you wrote: > This is now the 5th time I send this message..
