And I do all this remotely. Well, they don't run Amanda, but they run everything else - POP3/IMAP4, webmail, SMTP, spamfilter, virusfilter, DNS, gateway, firewall, proxy... etc. I'd like to think you've kinds messed up something with name resolution... could be DNS (/etc/resolv.conf) or even /etc/hosts changes of you don't run a local resolver. Also, I'd like to mention that My boxes were running 6.x before I upgraded them to 7.8, then to 8.x using instructions from http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/upgrade/. I have one box that I upgraded from 8.x->9.x as well, as a test to the instructions ~rse made, which led to the fixing of certain small bits in the instructions. I can tell you that the instructions are rock-solid. Anyway, I suggest start figuring out of name resolution works first... -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
