Thanks again.

Made a solid attempt at this - including rm -r the Mail-Spam... folder and
even re-downloading the tar - but sadly no luck.

Everything looks AOK right until "make test". I hunted around to see if I
could find anything on "unable to get host name of local machine" and came
across an apparent bug with Sys::Hostname. I applied the fix
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc/15662)  but no change. Also
getting, further down, a complaint about bytes.pm.

Any further suggestions folks? Have considered attempting to upgrade Perl
and start from scratch as a last ditch effort or hardcoding the hostname
value into the UnixLocker.pm script (this is what throws up the host name
errors). Both of these seem likely to lead to tears at some point in the
future and I haven't got a rebuild ISO yet :-)

Many thanks

Richard.
