I am not actually 100% sure that the new package installed correctly, if I do a rpm -e on the old one, and the new one isn't installed correctly, I may remove telnetd from my system totally - something I don't really want to do. The reason I am unsure about the installation is because if I do a ls -l on the file the result is: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31932 Jul 25 16:39 /usr/sbin/in.telnetd* the date is the date of the original system install, rather than the date I installed the update. Anyone give me any ideas where I should go from here? -- Andrew McCall UNIX Support System Administrator ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
