This is in accordance with man hier. All FreeBSD packages install into /usr/local. /home, or rather /usr/home (/home is a symlink) is where user created files should live, not system libraries and binaries. From man hier: /usr local/local executables, libraries, etc. Also used as the default destination for the FreeBSD ports framework. Within local/, the general layout sketched out by hier for /usr should be used. Exceptions are the man directory (directly under local/ rather than under local/share/), ports documentation (in share/doc//), and /usr/local/etc (mimics /etc). NOTES This manual page documents the default FreeBSD file system layout, but the actual hierarchy on a given system is defined at the system adminis- trator's discretion. A well-maintained installation will include a cus- tomized version of this document. Bert JW Regeer smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

Please disregard...it did fix it, I just had to give vpopmail a minute to update the tcp.cdb. Sorry... James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc. CEO and Janitor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://3.am =

Make /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb a symlink to ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb. Sorry if I'm still confused...on the old server, I actually had simlinks the other way around. In ~vpopmail/etc/ I had simlinks to /etc/tcp.smtp and /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb and it worked. It doesn't on the new install. I tried reversing it the way you recommended, but it still doesn't work. (chowned vpopmail all the files, although open_smtp always gets created as root owned). I assume that somehow tcpserver either sees the open_smtp file when you do this, of its contents get somehow included in the tcp.smtp file, but I'm not seeing it...how does tcpserver know about the contents of the open_smtp file?

Simple. Make /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb a symlink to ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther "No Woody!, I said TUCK the kids in bed!" -Mia
