I believe that it is innd - look in /etc/rc?.d/???inn. This is the inn server control - ones beginning with S start it and ones with K kill it. So a quick hack is to change the ones with S into K. There is a program to do this IIRC, but I can't remember what it is. Adrian -- .signature in post -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
