I'm beginning the think that the console application - though exceedingly dangerous in this rookie's hands is possibly not quite ready for prime time...why did the backups disappear? Is there a method to wipe out the entire DSA and start over without removing the rpm and re-installing rpm again? And by the way, I am most appreciate of all of the help you have been giving me Richard - just in case I haven't made it obvious - you have been exceedingly patient and helpful. Thanks Craig
