That's why I worded my opening sentence the way I did - one other thing I've noticed this am, is that I'm getting slpd errors on shutdown - well, it just says it failed to shut it down - I had never heard of this daemon, but I read a little about it, and on cursory inspection, it seems like it 'could' be related -- need to keep looking - I just posted this in case anyone else was having the same issue, on the chance it could be related to recent updates... -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
