I suspect it is something compiled into the kernel,security? but tried killing virtually every daemon running to no avail. Using Postfix with the same main.cf as with redhat 6.2 corrected for the lib/libexe switch. Could there be a hitch there. Fetchmail never filckers the leds on the modem. Where to now? -- ----russ----
