I suggest you change them.. NOW. Now for your problem.. as far as I know, popper looks at /etc/ftpusers and disallows access by that. The root account is in /etc/ftpusers, which is why you can't check root's mail via pop. Your best bet is to do the following.. 1) edit /etc/aliases and add the following line to have all mail sent to root to your local user, assuming your username is dj. root: dj 2) type 'newaliases' at the prompt (without the quotes) 3) send an email to root and see if you get it Hope this helps, -- : Jim Mock | [jim@corp.au.triax.com] : : System Administrator | http://www.triax.com/ : : Triax Internet Services | ----------------------------- : : Portland, OR USA | The FreeBSD' zine : : Wagga Wagga, NSW Australia | http://www.freebsdzine.org/ : : FreeBSD: The Power To Serve | http://www.freebsd.org/ : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
