Well, if you're talking about what I think you're talking about, it's not quite that simple: you also need an ethernet switch that can support what Cisco refers to as "trunking". If you can trunk 'em together, then you can get their aggregate throughput -- it's quite nice (I even did this on my P

For myriad reasons too complex to go into now, I have installed 7.1.93 on my work system. Well... this may have been a bad move. It boots fine, and gets me right up to the login prompt, whereupon I'm informed that no, I don't have the credentials to log in. I've played around with my /etc/pam.d

Well, I think I can answer your questions: 1) Instead of inetd, why not just leave it up? A portscan'll launch it, anyway, so you'd best trust the security, no? 2) IMHO, IMAP's folder "paradigm" is dumb: you can only create folders *inside* your inbox. Give that a try, and see what happen
