Found the solution at http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:epnbAX_bGy8J:blogs.redhat.com/fedora_blogs/FEDORA_BLOGS.html+fc5+httpd.conf+Listen&hl=en&gl=ca&ct=clnk&cd=3 Notice it's in Google Cache as the posting no longer exists on the page in the link provided by the search hit. By the way is this getting out to the list? Didn't see my original posting come through, and no replies which I was suprised given how active this list is. Thanks, Jacques B.
