If you want a seperate instance you'll need to call it a different name eg in the sqlacct file sql sqlacct { sql options here } THEN call sqlacct rather than sql in your accounting section. The filename means nothing. .. I'm surprised your current config works and doesn't just blow up (there again all you are doing is redefining options much like someone who leaves old config files in modules directory. ...) alan -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
