I like to keep my wtmp around for a month, so adjusted the line in crontab that deals with it. Yesterday it got zapped. "What??" sez I. It gets clobbered in /etc/rc.d/rc.M too. I think the crontab entry alone will suffice. Joe "It's nice to only have to complain about such *small* stuff" Morris -- -joe "Honey, they're in *everybody's* eggs" --firesigns
