Okay, I'm still pretty much a Linux newbie... I've been having weird problems with qpopper apparently not starting up when I access it from my local network. Possibly/probably an inetd problem. Workaround seemed to be to set it up with --enable-standalone. I did this. I've even got it running... but only if I'm logged in as root. I assume that I need to create a script to stick in /etc/rc.d/init.d to link to from /etc/rc.d/rc5.d Confession: I don't do shell scripts (and right now I don't have time to learn). I've looked at other scripts in there, and it seems like they are using a howitzer for a flyswatter simply to launch a program. Is there another way of doing this? Or does anyone already have the script files needed? The Snn prior to the program's name in rc5.d is a bit elusive... I know the S is for start... but what's with the numbers? I've glanced through the man pages for inittab, but didn't see anything specific. Thanks! Jeff Shultz Shultz Infosystems - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wvi.com/~jbshultz
