It's also hard to follow, I think exampls are desparately needed in there. There is one example but I never know where to find it. The think I get confused about reading the manual is the difference between group parametes, things in the group method, and what should be a local element in the score file. for example: > If you put `total-expire' in the group parameters but: > Another way to have auto-expiry happen is to have the element > `auto-expire' in the select method of the group. Also, the section on servers refers to ``virtual server settings'', I still don't know what those are. Are they just variables we should set globally or in score file? should they be elements in the select method? are they group parameters? These questions may be answered in the manual; I haven't asked about them before because I haven't checked. But If you're looking for confusing parts of the manual, these are the parts I'm confused by. greg
