Hi Bill,

I make all the things you coment, upgrade Apache , install SSH,
change editors, change configs, ... and the last Kernel patch
run like a charm.

One more question Bill, In the last path (proFTP) why have Sun released
the 1.2.2RC1 and not the last RC2? Have Sun make changes to original?
I query this to know if I can upgrade to RC2 w/o problems.

TIA
