Here is some of the output for cmu.log.  Not sure if the compression is the
problem.  I thought not because I didn't get an error for every user/site.

Unfortunatly I am not a programmer and could not make heads or tails from
the the password file.  I have a hot XTR that I can transfer the info to.
Like I said the current XTR is working but I need to reload.

The ASP was working but I was fooling around and was deleting some site
directories that did not have anything liked to them.  I.E. There was a
site2, but nothing was linked to it.

Thanks,
Matt
