The poppassd in the ports collection for 2.2.anything >dosnt work. thanks, I found it in the incoming directory, and it works great. However, a thought crossed my mind while looking at the source. Isn't fgets() a potential problem for a program that's running as root? Wouldn't it be possible for an overflow on this? If so, how would I rewrite the following line to prevent buffer overflows? fgets(line, BUFSIZE, stdin); Thanks for the help, Troy Settle <st@i-Plus.net> Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net
