a quick fix would probably be to comment out all lines in /etc/hosts.deny, or comment out the exim line in inetd.conf and restart exim by /etc/init.d/exim start. i prefer not to run mtas from inetd. playing with hosts.allow/deny can be risky you can open your system to unwanted things, i leave it to you to figure out how(or if) you want to control access to your machine(i ditch hosts.allow/deny and go straight for ipchains on my systems). > Trying 127.0.0.1... > telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused im guessing you just did 'telnet localhost' there and did not specify the port, on many systems telnetd isnt installed by default, if you want it you must apt-get install telnetd. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
