The default setup if one install exim is that it is not run as a daemon, but that inetd runs it when needed, so I have had no problems with the laptop either when it is on-line or when I take it with me home and use it off-line. However due to that spamassassin and exim eats all my memory when I check mail on Monday mornings I got tips as to run both as daemons. The problem now is that exim hangs for about 30-60 seconds when I boot the system off-line (does not happen on-line) as it tries to do DNS lookup I guess. Now what I tried was to install netenv and set it up so I have two choices. 1) Office setup with network 2) Home setup as localhost only The problem is that netenv is either buggy or something else is wrong, because when I choose the home setup it still get setup like if it was the office setup. So I was looking for something that worked. Preben -- Preben Randhol -------------------- http://www.pvv.org/~randhol «.., chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought.
