OK guys, I played it safe. I spent more time on trying to discover why Postfix was not working, at 5 AM on Saturday morning I noticed that my AV scanner was dumping scanned mail into sendmail. What I thought it was doing was dumping it via smtp on a backdoor port to postfix. Although I had

Hi All, I have just completed a machine swap on my file server which boasts a HP Colorado 14GB IDE/ATAPI drive. I have never had a problem with this prior to 8.1. The scsi component was always missing, I found that I had to add the ide-scsi option into LILO in the 'append' section, hdd=ide-scsi

Thanks James, added the 'nomount' option to the lilo and it now works fine. I wonder if 8.2 will be more intelligent and revert to 8.0 logic for this? Dave. On Wed, 13 Mar 2002 21:15:57 -0800 James [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, 13 Mar 2002 20:48:27 -0500 David Stevenson [EMAIL PROTECTED
