It is not used by your ftp or mail server. Since it might be used by remote ftp or mailservers you are connecting to, you should take care that the packets destined at port 113 are not dropped but rejected (default, if no firewall is running). Otherwise you can experience delays. Ralf -- Ralf Spenneberg <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
