Before I get into my question I wanted to say hello to you all. This
software looks great and I'm looking forward to working with everyone.

I'm running Debian Etch x86 on vmware-server 1.03, and I've installed the
RC2 candidate for testing for my own use and possibly for clients later
down the line. This is the first time I've worked with this software, but
after reading some of the list archives some of my questions have been
answered.

So far as I can tell I've successfully installed the server and correctly
set up the certs. When I run "bbstored SINGLEPROCESS -c
/etc/box/bbstored.conf" I get this on the command line, and stays there
until canceled:

NOTICE: Starting daemon, version 0.11rc2, config: /etc/box/bbstored.conf

but I also get these lines in my /var/log/messages file (I have not yet
gotten the box log file separated), where it seems to scan local files
every few seconds (see messages below). Is this normal, or something that
needs to be fixed?
