Like the transaction tracking logs...  I do remember on separate occasions 
either kissing them off altogether or going through the disable/copy/enable 
routine.

So is this where the old timestamps come from?  Are they touched with some date 
that is significant to somebody somewhere at Novell when created from scratch? 
I originally suspected that might happen even after downing/re-upping the 
server with the BINDFIXed versions.

Howzabout explaining any to me provided they don't involve a third volume or a 
3rd-party software purchase?  Only lurk here to keep from forgetting more about 
Netware than I ever knew.  To know something new would be a bonus. ;)
