	I'm still running 3.0.6 and clients-3.0.6.1 and using the archive 
script to cycle files every hour (on a FreeBSD machine). I had a look at 
the archive and it looks fine, files with data in them every hour for the
last week or so (as much as I looked at), no zero length files, none obviously
missing. I just downloaded argus-3.0.6.1 and clients-3.0.6.2 and I'll try 
them out and see if anything changes.
