Start with a config named Testing or something like that. Set "record no". Play with it. Break it. Fix it. > Any other suggestions from the list? 9. Watch out for firewalls you may not expect to be there, e.g. ipchains in default RedHat installs. 10. Restart (x)inetd. Yes, again. ;) 11. If/when you ask the list for help, be as detailed as possible about the problem. We're a friendly (usually), helpful bunch, but we ain't mind readers. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
