[Serusers] SER version question

Hello Serusers, A few days ago, installed SER and some addons on a linux 686 using rpms for 386. Seems to work okay. Also serweb pages seem to be working. However, today, in someone's list post, there was a link to a "tarball" directory. After looking through there, I see that the ser rpm brings fewer modules along, and of course also, is not as up to date as the tarball tar.gz-. Question 1: If I want to install the tar.gz, do I delete the current rpm version first or just write over? If delete first, clues for a method to do that would be appreciated. Know where most of the rpm ser files are, but not for sure. Just stop the current ser and then delete its files and other references to it elsewhere? Question 2: While looking over tarball files, I saw more than once references to a second auth module that I cannot find anywhere in tarball -- has to do with databasing, something like auth_db.so or something like that. Is that module no longer needed, and if it is needed, what does it support/enable and where to find it? Thank you once more for your help -- Nell Bolen ________________________________________ Web Classic Design Webhosting, Design, Programming, Maintenance Contact WCD: Phone: 1-866-800-5117 (Toll Free) Email: info(a)webclassicdesign.net On the World Wide Web
