Hi - once again ... Sorry, but I want to argue this theme once more, as I think it IS a security problem ... How can you be sure, that the data you have sent to your machine (- the files you have changed on your machine -) are REALLY (not just virtually) written to the harddisk? How can you proof whether your data is on your HDD physically or are just kept in your RAM, because your system cannot write to the HDD for an longer period of time? Is there any command like flush in mysql where you can be sure all data are written to your HDD? Martin ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Ing.
