Matthew,

I've had one all along.  Etch installs for me no
problem. 

The ultramonkey site is all about Sarge.

http://www.ultramonkey.org/

Here is the first sentence from the first news item on
that page:

> New heartbeat packages have been made available for
Ultra Monkey 3 on both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
[offsite] and Debian Sarge [offsite] in order to
address a bug in ldirectord which caused it to die
when connect checks were used.

Or note the content of this URL:

http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/3/debian.sarge/ipvsadm/

As far as I am aware, nowhere on the ultramonkey web
site does it say you can use etch.

Is the ultramonkey site just out of date?

Absolutely.  

Thanks,

Rick
