I'll investigate these. Thanks!

Let's hope not! I'm going from a P-75 to a PPro-200. ;')

Yeah, that sounds good. The previous box did all this in a package
(Mandrake w/ Bastille). This time I'm hand configuring the whole box
(debian Woody 2.4 patched). I'm really liking this debian distro.

Something starnge I noticed yesterday. I installed apache-ssl+exim+
squirrelmail. I don't see regular apache though. It's like I only
have ssl enabled apache and no httpd for port 80. I guess I installed
the wrong thing, or have to also install apache. Wierd.

Thanks again this is all good stuff,
Brian
