The log file I have tethereal dumping into shows dcc servers, and domain names from emails I'm receiving. I'm not sure what the other port that xinetd owns does. The log files from tethereal are empty. Same with the ports owned by drac. Does anyone know if I need the drac service running, or does sendmail call it upon each qpopper execution? I guess I could turn it off and see if I can still check my mail. I'm still fuzy about the port for xinetd. The only things I have enabled in xinetd are fam, imap, and pop3. It is also a dynamicly allocated port. Possibly fam? Thanks, Jake -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
