Thanks Micah. I actually had found that but wondered if it was going todo anything for me since it had indicated it was fixed in F29. I also was a little tentative to try thosecommands since I don't really understand what the dbus is and what it is doing. I guess I will just have to give it a try next weeksometime when I more easily work with someone in the data center to help me getthe server back online if things don't work. Doug
