Well, this also explains your mail problem. I assume that you have the netbase package installed; if not, then install it. Check to see that inetd is running: ps -aux | grep '[i]netd' If this command shows nothing, then inetd (which monitors the TCP ports for standard internet services and then dispatches them to the appropriate program) isn't running - try re-installing netbase. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
