I found this to be true. The ppp.log is readable by any user on a newly installed hamm system. I think one of the scripts in cron.weekly set its permissions to the adm group. If you don't happen to run your machine 24/7, you are unlikey to ever notice, unless you have your machine booted up on when cron.weekly is run. > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > -- Jim Foltz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --purge \*, let dpkg sort them out AOL/IM: jim foltz
