The numbers appear to refer to a block number, track number, and sector number. Perhaps you have a bad block? Avoid Maxtor drives at all costs. They are very troublesome. Our 540 went out on an Intel machine. It was not pretty. It pretty much trashed the whole system. >Oct 21 05:44:14 Moon named[63]: Lame server on 'barton.net.au' >(in 'barton.NET.AU'?): [203.12.80.1].53 'ns.skeeve.net': learnt (A =203.12.80.1,NS=192.189.54.33) >Oct 21 05:45:29 Moon named[63]: Lame server on 'webdreams.net.au' >(in 'webdreams.NET.AU'?): [203.12.80.1].53 'ns.skeeve.net': learnt (A=203.12.80.1,NS=192.65.182.30) Dunno about this one. Is this a name server machine? If not, it shouldn't be running named. If you don't know what a name server is, you definitely should not be running it :) Good luck. -Clint
