This sound like a good location for the files, but I suspect it is not. The main reason these files were loaded from a directory under / and not /var/, is that /var/ is not guaranteed to be mounted when the files need to be read. Why do you believe this has changed? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
