Not much, so far. I'm still very new to Linux - I first installed Debian in February. I think (I'm not sure) that I mistakenly chose an IP something or other option when I first installed kernel 2.2.9, but I've since recompiled with the option blank. > Lets see.

It tells me that the Cron Daemon is looking for something to do with ip-accounting-rules every six minutes, not finding it and emailing me to say so, and very little else. I don't know what ip-accounting rules are. Heck, I don't even know what ip-accounting is. > How about rgrep -r ip-accounting-rules /etc/* Gives no result (yes, I did run it as root). > Now lets see what you come up with. Nothing yet. What now? Thanks for your help, -- alisdair mcdiarmid [i won't tear again i won't breathe in the shards of what is left]
