Good answer, and one employed here for PHB viewing of the CGIs. In this case, I wanted contacts to _not_ be notified, so the answer of others to use either - contact_period none - contact_options n were the best choices for me. You may want to consider contributing . this answer . how you do AD authentication - this ability of Nag to offload auth to another facility (Domain, Directory, PAM-something) is a big Nag win in my view (we use LDAP auth here against an iPlanet directory) as a Nag FAQ. Thanks very much for the encouraging and helpful reply. Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
