Actually, it should have logged an error message. (Please check /var/log/daemon.log or syslog to confirm that.) But the daemon has already backgrounded itself at that point, so the /etc/init.d script can't tell that it has exited. I'll look into how hard it would be to bind the port sooner in the startup sequence. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
