I'm not sniping, I'm just puzzled. I'm looking forward to getting back to that box and finding out exactly what did go wrong (exim broke as well). My experience of Debian so far leads me to expect that it was not Debian's fault but some cockup I made a long time ago which has now jumped up and bitten me. If it turns out that it was Debian's fault, I'll endeavour to provide as much useful debugging info as I can. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
