First, note that since you're not of the regular posters here (as far as I can remember) I had no way of knowing what you know and what you don't. Your question also did not specify what you had already understood from the log, and which possibilities you had already ruled out. Second, as Muli and Guy and other people pointed out on this list earlier, this is a mailing list, not a support hotline. It is nice to be able to answer one person's question, but this is not what a list is for. Such a list would be b-o-ring! On a list, instead of answering a question tersely it is even better to be able to use that question as an "excuse" to help more than just this person, or for starting a discussion that will interest more than one person. In this case, you are not the only person who could have benefited from my "intro" about identd, inetd, and the broken pipe signal, so I didn't mind writing it. I hope I didn't waste my breath (or rather, my fingers) :) -- Nadav Har'El | Friday, Sep 13 2002, 7 Tishri 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |How to become immortal: Read this http://nadav.harel.org.il |signature tomorrow and follow its advice. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
