Ok, I changed the "no" to "yes". That should fix it. The previous version of mimedefang.pl did indeed have it set to "yes", not sure why... Perhaps that's how it was released in 2.57 (or whatever I had been running...) ... err... no. Because FC5 was released with 2.57 as well. Well, in that case, I don't know. BTW: It makes sense to not have the inet listener for syslog (Solaris as you pointed out, does this... but so does HP-UX).... that's one less portal for vulnerability exploits or DoS attacks. -Philip _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
