Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I'm not sure my earlier private e-mail to you went through. Do you happen to know who the support staff member is that setup your cron job? The people in #arpnetworks are not being helpful, and Garry seems unaware of what you've setup. I'd like to run through some tests myself but I haven't been able to scrounge up amd64 hardware to setup my own Ubuntu Jaunty server. Thanks, -sl
