How? and shall I need a running sendmail daemon here? The easies way, is to edit /etc/aliases on box1 and have the line: root: youremailaddress@xxxxxxxx then run (as root) $> newaliases that way all the email (ie. logwatch report, tripwire, etc) sent to the root on box1 will automatically be forwarded to youremailaddress@xxxxxxxxx And yes, AFAIK sendmail service has to run for that to work. By default sendmail does not listen to the external interface (only local loopback). If you're still not convinced that's secure enough, use tcpwrapper to refused all connection to sendmail in /etc/host.deny, and/or block port 25 using firewall. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
