I'll keep in mind when I return.

My router does. It seems it has a dynamic address assigned to it by my

At present, I have three or four hosts on a LAN, and I can ssh from
each one to the others. The problem arises because of what I want to
do in the
Sorry that I didn't make myself clear. I've got two situations: a) my
present sitution in which I communicate between hosts on my local LAN,
b) a future situation (to which I'd like to arrive in a day or so) of

host on the LAN.

That would explain its presence on my lenny box, but my newly

David, good question. I had understood /etc/hosts.allow only as a way

I've made some progress simply by defining a set of users+domains on
my host mail server. Broadly, now I've got three machines all speaking

I've never encountered this problem before because I've always used
the same user name, but now I'm setting up a machine with different
user accounts and I need to have all these users' outgoing mail

Jimmy,
I inadvertangly sent this message to you personally, but here send it
to the list.
The directions for creating a bootable USB key don't mention running
cfdisk on it to make it bootable. I simply copied syslinux to the key,
but suspect I have to run cfdisk as well. Is that so?
