Still not sure how, but a fellow from Dallas came to my rescue and from his home, slowly rebuilt and re-configured everything. E.g.: for one thing, where I hack sendmail working via various kludges, he set up imap. I had thought that was mostly for students.... He also filled me in on jails. Previously, I had my 1998 Kayak doing DNS and mail and web solo. Jon created a jail and set things up there. He used NFS to bring over things from a faster computer. That's well and good; it makes sense to compile a suite that takes days on sage [Kayak @ 400MHz] on my Dell8200 [2.4GHZ]. A few days ago I realized that I was missing some simple programs on sage. I went into ports: empty. Years ago there was a standalone script that let you fix or tune things. I thought it was on the hard drive as well as the CD set. Anybody? thanks for any clues! gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
