True, although the messages (OK, admitadly not the ones we're talking about at
the moment) are also usefull to others trying to diagnose the problem e.g. "My

'timed out during SCB mean?' ;-)

That would suite me, and by the look of it - the majority of people... I'm
pretty confident we'll never see the day of the likes of "inetd[]: An unknown
error occured while loading the pop3 service. The return data is the result
code, 0x0f 0x02 0xff 0xfe". <G>
