The short answer is - *upgrade* to a more recent version (at *least* the latest 1.2.x series, but preferably 2.0.16)... Be sure to read all of the docs on upgrading, because you *will* have some reconfiguring to do... *Then*, if you have any questions/issues, by all means come back and ask... -- Best regards, Charles
