That is another point that has me confused. I have been testing to make certain changes I have made to the access file were really there with postmap -q. With the movement of IP addresses and CIDR blocks out of the access file and into a "cidr-ip" file postmap -q would find them in the cidr-ip.db file. If I remove the .db ile (As Noel points out not necessary) then I get an error because postmap seems to only look in database files: $ postmap -q 222.254.228.0/24 cidr-ip postmap: fatal: open database cidr-ip.db: No such file or directory As I originally posted: "An strace of "postmap -q <any-pattern> cidr-ip" shows it is the cidr-ip.db file that is being read." by postmap. > > Wietse > -- Robert Lopez Unix Systems Administrator Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) 525 Buena Vista SE Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106
