My thanks to Lukas Beeler who asked me to run 'ps auxwwwwf' and behold!
I found errors coming from readproctile telling me it couldn't find
/usr/local/bin/setguidid. Here's the specific error message:
root 686 0.8 0.0 1252 16 ? S Aug02 14:19 \_

And, sure 'nuf, their ain't a setguidgid anywhere on the box.
So did I 'fat finger' setguidid somewhere in a script or did my daemontools
install fail and I just didn't realize it? Or is there another problem?
Lukas also had me run 'netstat -lp | grep smtp' and, like there was a doubt
<smile>,
the owner came back as xinetd.
So aside from me telling the Canadian guy how to use xinetd to *maybe* get
around his
problem (I hadn't considered a fire wall issue)instead of tcpserver, can you
give me some
guidance into where to look to solve this?
Thanks
Scott
