Did the thread die or what? Tried the task-harden thing. Have some suggestions: Conflicts: telnetd, ftpd, talkd, fingerd, sendmail, ftpd, nfs-common, netkit-rpc, nfs-kernel-server, nfs-user-server, rwalld, rusersd, fingerd, portmap ftpd twice :) shouldn't it be: ftp-server? I might have missed some part of the discussion but, shouldn't these be on the conflicts list too? rsh-client, rsh-server, rstartd, rstart Cheers, Cristian
