ipacset runs from /etc/init.d/ipac; however, if you haven't actually configured any IP accounting rules in /etc/ipac.conf, ipacset doesn't do anything (it doesn't need to), and hence fetchipac thinks it wasn't run. The later versions of the package check for this in the cronjob so the error doesn't occur. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB (ex-VK3TYD). CCs of replies from mailing lists are welcome.
