Hi Keith,
Thanks for your reply. The below mentioned warning messages where displayed while using modutils 2.3.22. Guess I need to apply the patch you mentioned to removed all the anonying messages.
As I've not applied any patch before, pls advise where should I download the patch and the instructions for patching pls.
Thanks.
