Thanks to all who replied. It seems logical that it would sit there forever trying to do a lookup on a unknown lo interface. My sons away for the weekend and don't know his root passwd so wont know the outcome till sunday night. I'm looking forward to the results before upgrading my box.
Thanks all, Gary. ps disregard any old mail of mine that might come through late as i've just moved my mail lists to my home domain in the last couple of days. There was no reverse lookup on my ip so mail was rejected. My isp has now happily pointed it at my domain, thanks Igreen. On 14 Mar 2003 15:05:31 -0800, you wrote: >OK....
