Thanks for the information. Gee, now I don't feel so bad about bringing down my firewall machine that had been up 454.25 days before I brought it down to reconfigure it with two NICs to support the new DSL connection. To think I was only 43 days from a possible crash anyway takes some of the sting out of the event. {^_-} Joanne Dow, jdow@earthlink.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
