I don't see how postcommit/postcommand can cause that - in fact the author field has absolutely no link with anything to do with postcommit. It's also not optional... the very first thing written to a new revision is the author and will never be 'missing'. I suspect this is unrelated to postcommit and something else is going on. Try removing the postcommit and committing a few things. Do you have any AV on the server? Tony
