RE: [vchkpw] Enter Network Password
I had the same problem with a customer the other day. It turned out to be an accounts pop server had changed to localhost. Strange considering that he had done nothing to the computer and only he uses it. I suspect a new virus. Other than that, I can only think of the log onto network option under the dialup settings.

Usually, when you install an antivirus, and ask it to check incoming messages, it modifies client setup and redirects the mail client to pop a local port (on localhost); so the client pop the antivirus, the antivirus pop the real mail server.

I put redhat9 on my dad's home system, showed him where a few things were, and boom, no more calling me every weekend asking me to come home and fix his computer. Also, it keeps my little brother off kazaa, which is one of the main reasons there was so much garbage on there anyways. Also, if anything DOES break, I can just ssh into his machine and fix it :) -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .
