I haven't followed this topic from the outset, but I do recall a config file being posted a couple of days ago. If that was unrelated to this, then apologies, and please ignore the interruption! The config file I saw posted had been copied and pasted from an html screen of some kind, and consequently had a load of html formatting included (especially lots of   scattered throughout). It is this html guff that makes the file impossible to read - remember this is an email forum, and as such ought to be conducted in plain text, not half-html. Dan isn't complaining that we won't read config files, or that you shouldn't post them, but rather, the file that was posted was difficult/impossible to read. If you want help, ask for it in a way that allows people to read and understand your problem easily, otherwise they won't bother. In this situation, I thought Dan's comments were reasonable. He mentioned the html tags in the file, and he said it was unreadable. I will deliberately refrain for commenting on how _your_ posting attitude looks to others. :-) -- Mike Holden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
