O.K. will have a look at that one.. 1 problem that I had was with "msec" it kept changing the permission of the /usr/sbin/exim_base file and some of the other directories.. I solved the problem via "rpm -e msec" but if I was building a totally Mandrake rpm that anyone could use i would have to address that issue. I guess i would have to design the RPM to place a line like /usr/sbin/exim_base exim.mail 4755 in /usr/share/msec/perm.* files not really sure about msec though.. there is only so many hours in day.. BTW: exim works great on Mandrake ;) Cheers Mark
