LOL :-) I do have gpm running in runlevel 5, I wasn't sure whether I needed it or not, so I just left it on. I could probably shut it down then could I? Or is it better to just leave it be and ignore the occasional error? It's a minor glitch really. And now I know I'm not the only one who has it occurring. I feel better. ;-) All the best. --Angus "Oh Great Spirit Grant that I may never find fault with my neighbor Until I have walked three moons In his moccasins."--Native American saying -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://mymail.operamail.com Powered by Outblaze
