Yeah, there's a RedHat 9 specific problem, IIRC.  If you can't find it
in the archive (do we have an archive right now?) and no one pops up
with the specifics, I'll dig it up for you.

RH9 is EOL shortly, though, if not already.  I'd recommend SuSE 9.0 or
Mandrake 10 for production systems; no doubt other people will have
other opinions.

And I'll ask, again, a question I expected an answer to here a month
ago and didn't get one:

With the demise of reasonably priced RedHat products, what is the new
target distribution for filePro on Linux?
