Occasional Error
Nothing major, but here's what happening and I don't really know why. I run a script from a vt to connect to the internet, and every once in a while I get something like this come up on that terminal: date time Failed to open configuration file /etc/exim.conf Now I can just hit a key and continue like normal, but I just don't know why that's happening in the first place. I have exim installed, but as far as I can tell, it isn't running. At least I haven't gone out of my way to run it, and ps isn't identifying an exim operation. I don't find any exim references in my scripts either. ..words of wisdom welcome. |cheshire|

I don't find any exim references in my scripts either. By default exim doesn't run as a daemon, but is started from inetd to recieve SMTP connections and run periodically to flush the queue. If you don't want to use exim, you should deinstall it. If you want to use it, then you should configure it (use /usr/sbin/eximconfig to make things easy). You probably want to have it set up. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFShttp://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/ pgpS2fHW8OdF2.pgp Description: PGP signature
