   Hey Andrew,   
      
   So this was bugging me - so I made a quick workaround.

        rewinddir(dp);   
        while ((de = readdir(dp))) {   
   -       if ((strlen(de->d_name) == 12) && (strncasecmp(de->d_name+8, ".tic",   
   4) == 0)) {   
   +       Syslog('?', "Found file %s", de->d_name);   
   +       if ((strlen(de->d_name) >= 5) && (strlen(de->d_name) <= 12) &&   
   (strncasecmp(de->d_name+strlen(de->d_name)-4, ".tic", 4) == 0)) {   
   +           Syslog('?', "Added file %s", de->d_name);   
               stat(de->d_name, &sbuf);   
               fill_fdlist(&fdl, de->d_name, sbuf.st_mtime);   
           }   
      
   I know if the standard is that a tic file needs to be 12 chars in length (I   
   think it would be good if it was - but I'm not sure that that is the   
   standard), then it would be good if on a node by node (or global config?)   
   that you can "override" the standard. "Allow Non Standard TIC [YES|NO]"   
      
   What do you think?
