K, no idea what's going on. This is a hardened server, just synced a moment ago:

I had a search through bugzy, but cannot find anything relevent. What have I done wrong here? I can give more info if you want. Not sure what you need. I do keep the system fairly up to date (emerge -uD world at least every month). -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
