Hi there
On the subject of MTA's, is there no groupware like Lotus Domino or exchance

I don't think the choice of MTA is relevant to the HDD organisation.
I use both Postfix and Qmail and they both work fine.
The only thing you have to realize is when you use Qmail with maildir,
you really need a large /home partition.

Some of the recent upgrades have the executables set UID=0 where they were
not in the past. This includes (but may not be limited to) the following:
at
smbmnt
smbmount
smbumount
Do these really need to be set UID=0? Is this a security concern?

Ping6 is the IPv6 version of ping.
It is normal that they have setuid turned on. Othwerise, non-root users
can not open the ICMP socket
Ping for IPv6. You should see other utilities that end with 6 as well.

If they are using mindterm, then they are already in a browser, which

password via poppassd.
