The old *.sts files can likely be removed       but things like those old .flo files I'll need to check more closely.                On a separate issue; I've also found a number of *.sa# (where "#" is a        single       digit) files that have zero size, all from earier this morning at different       times. I'll have to check the logs to see if there's anything about what        might        have happened.                      VC> outbound* = outbound.001 , .002, .003 and .004 your own zone will be just       VC> outbound without any number after.       VC>        VC> Oh, you could also have other nets here as well so delete the contents.               Yes, I do indeed; a number of which haven't been touched for over a decade.       Preumably, if they also have only old *.sts file or are empty then they can        just       be deleted. (And would be recreated again if needed...)                             Jame                      Greetings, Rj Clay        email: admftn@ftn.rocasa.net              --- MBSE BBS v1.0.6.8 (GNU/Linux-i386)        * Origin: ftn.rocasa.net (1:120/544)    |
