Thanks all who have answered my questions so far. You
have been very helpful.

I'm running into a much stranger problem now. I'm
trying to set up Qmail under TCPServer, optimally with
POP access. I've installed the TCPServer program and
checkpassword (which tests out great) as per online
instructions. Then I went ahead and added the line
into my /etc/rc that was supposed to bring up Qmail
under TCPServer on boot...and for some reason, it
didn't.

This may be a problem with my system, since for some
reason the line above this in that file, which should
be starting Apache Web Server, has quit working on me
as well (it was fine at one point). Problem is, I'm
still way too much of a UNIX novice to diagnose it.

The last part of my /etc/rc reads:

# Alternatively, on some architectures, xdm may be
started in /etc/ttys.
if [ "X${xdm_flags}" != X"NO" ]; then
        echo 'starting xdm...';        
/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm ${xdm_flags}
fi

exit 0

# Starts Apache Web Server
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

# Starts Qmail Under TCPSERVER
tcpserver -v -u 1010 -g 1010 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &

The stuff at the top is just there so anyone out there
can tell if I've put those lines in the wrong place.
FYI, the system is OpenBSD 2.8, running on an old
Pentium-200.

Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.
