Traceroute needs to be setuid so it can write IP packets directly rather
than using the socket interface. Without that ability, it could not set
the time-to-live on the packet and thus wouldn't work.

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why my icmplogs are showing UDP connections
whenever my system recieve email. The connections are on UDP port 512.
I'm using sendmail from woody as my MTA. It makes no difference whether or
not biff is installed.
the log reads:

Hi there,
My "brief"? story: I am (was?) a windowman (meaning a mouseman
-computer (almost) illiterate). Got sick and tired of being called
basically a criminal, by my Laptop using Windows, with messages such as
"illegal operation". Bought Corel Linux based on Debian. After spending
a month

janet:~# useradd

It took some time, but I finally found an answer to the question I
posted. If anyone else is having the same problem, the solution
is to set "receiver_verify = true" in /etc/exim.conf. Exim will then
return a 550 status to the RCPT TO command in the following example.
