At this point you are the only source out of many people who have
CentOS-5 boxes. So I would say you are putting the cart before the
horse.. At this point, we know that you are having a problem, and do
not know why. We know that other people who have replied to one of
your threads have not had this problem. So it is a matter to find out
what is the difference between your system and others.
