This won't fix the problem, as a connection refused error won't be given if something is being blocked by tcp wrappers - the connection will still be accepted, but then dropped. Two ideas: - Your inetd may not be running; check if you can telnet to localhost on any port (try especially 7, 9, 13 and 23). If you always get connection refused, there may be a problem with /etc/init.d/netbase - at the top of /etc/init.d/netbase it checks for the existence of a certain file (/usr/sbin/rpc.portmap); make certain you have that file. If you don't, but do have /usr/sbin/portmap, then change the top of /etc/init.d/netbase to check for the file you do have. - Your inetd may be running but may not be set up to hand things off to smail. Check if there's a line in /etc/inetd.conf that says: smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.smtpd and make certain it's not commented out - as I recall, the bo smail package updated /etc/inetd.conf in a not-recommended manner, and that may have broken during package install. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
