I didn't know if it was a bug, or a feature. Which is why I asked the question, and not filed a bug report. This is not at all uncommon on this list. But thank you for being yet another, self appointed list moderator. It's good to know there are so many out there willing to interject their personal opinion as if it were law. ya know what? I've had so many problems with MDL since 9.0, that I'm just going to take it off, and re-install RedHat. It runs. Maybe I'll return to MDL when: Someone fires all the self appointed list moderators. I asked a simple question, and got a lecture. I'm tired of this.
