I am an admin of a Debian woody Linux box for computer science majors. The machine is running the 2.4.17 kernel with iptables and quotas. Although I have spent a lot of time securing things, I still fear that fork bombs may kill the box. Is there a way in the 2.4.17 kernel to prevent fork bomb

Re: postfix problem

Looks like your main.cf might have some problems. You should post the output of your postconf -n. You also might want to try doing a postfix check to make sure everything is where it is supposed to be. Ralf on the postfix list could solve your problem 30 minutes if you posted it there. ;-)
