Any Linux system connected to the OSA could be doing it, not necessarily this particular one. (You say this is the first system to use the card, so it likely is the culprit.) So, on all the systems connected to this card, you could do this: find /etc -type f | xargs grep -il osacssd Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
