Both are running 2.0.30, and both never miss a beat. In fact, the web/auth server presently has an uptime of 41 days. These servers are not under a HUGE load, but they seem to work fine. News server ha 2 x 3.2GB Fireball Quantums, and the web/auth server has 1 x HP 2GB, a SCSI DAT and a SCSI CD-ROM regards Gary Allpike System Admin Q-Net Australia
