I have since gone on and have both my IP address and logs mailed to me. These scripts may be useful to others. To amuse myself, I have been making the scripts easy to configure. For example, you can configure the subject line, send logs or your ip address to multiple email addresses, specify a from user verses [EMAIL PROTECTED], and turn log mailing or ip mailing on and off independent of each other. I don't have it all documented or packaged yet, but if you want the scripts, I can send them to you. Regardless, there is a bug fix in the POSIXness.mail file that has to be installed in your root package. (I am wondering if Charles Steinkuehler's resorted to su to work around the bug?) Essentially, a sending email user id is missing, when you execute any kind of SMTP email scripts from the system startup scripts or multicron. I know Dachstien, and Bering are affected by this problem. I have not pryed open Oxygen, Packet Filter, or WRP yet. So I don't know if they are affected by the same problem. I believe K P Kirchdorfer spotted the problem and offered a solution. Mailing your logs will not work from multicron ,etc. without either the POSIXness.mail fix or the su command installed on your system. That is what step seven is all about. Since I wrote that original email I have a deeper understand of the problem. Hope this clarifies the step, Greg Morgan <snip> _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
