this is very strange, but those lines are not on the bottom of the
freevsd.conf file.
also, very strange is the permissions issues in the pre built skel, could
some one please verify the perms on /home/httpd/docs ?
the issue regarding the mod_bind,,, will not go away for some reason,
mod_bind.a is not creates and halts make, I have deleted teh mod_bind sub
dir. from the source. I hope to have the complete debian source ready to go
by monday.
A few more questions,
Does anything write to freevsd.conf file at any time ?
what program creates and or places the VSD.pm ?
Regards.
