Great, thanks for the quick turnaround on this. >> 2. With leafnode, I never can get a list of groups. Not sure why yet - >> debug output isn't helping much with this, though.

Will do (probably tomorrow or weds) to see what's going on - wondering if anyone else is seeing this as well. >> 4.

I'm not sure which would be the better route - on the one hand, keeping both versions around after the crasher bugs are dealt with seems silly, but on the other hand, being able to compare an old install with a new one concurrently might be a nice idea, since the configurations can't be easily moved. I'm assuming things like scoring and rules work a little differently as well, so they may not translate properly either - so being able to compare two running installations would definitely make that easier. I do notice that the Score file from 0.14.x is parsed during startup of 0.90, though. >> 5. As others indicated, a way to migrate existing settings from 0.14.x >> to 0.90 would be great.

Good to know, thanks. Jim _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
