On a negative not, GFI's Patch Managament in it's Security Scanner is, IME, a fair pile of droppings, inasmuch as it identifies pathces that it says are needed, then makes it imposssible to download them and/or install them. =20 Nick PS I'm A GFI reseller, and the rest of this product and their range are great, but not the pacth management.
