Hello from Gregg C Levine 4.11 isn't that older version of Netware for this timeperiod, I had a customer who was still using series 3 versions and series 2 versions for product activities. As for your problems regarding Postifx, all I can state, is that it makes sense what you're doing. I have used such removal commands regarding the RPM commands. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
