And that is indeed the reason. The director and SD should have the same version. It's no problem if the FDs are older. (Except for the unfixed bugs and missing features in that old versions, of course.) > But I think it's impossible > to use the same version, if you have more than 5 or 10 Computers with > several operating systems. No, it's not impossible. First of all, it's quite unusual to have 5 or 10 SDs. Most installations have one or two, and in the majority of cases one of them will be on the same machine as the director. So you only have to make sure that those two or three machines run the same version. Second, you don't have to run the version that comes with the distribution. I'd even say in most cases you shouldn't, as that version is usually outdated. There are packages of the latest stable version available for most common distributions, and you would be well advised to run those instead of the older ones packaged with the distribution, at least on your director and SDs. And finally, if everything else fails, you can always compile exactly the version you need from source.
