Urgh, I think I was a bit over zealous witht he first patch and just bundled the later two in... After looking around the includes they don't do anything under Linux. I think they're used on AIX. however the best way to do this is to look at another package which has a wide distribution and wide OS base - OpenLDAP being a good example (or even MySQL!)- and see how they do things... No need to reinvent the wheel! L. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
