That pretty much turns off exim altogether. While effective for disabling the Port 25 listen, it doesn't allow Bryan to use exim for his purposes. I think he's also using it in daemon mode rather than being run from inetd. At 01:22 AM 5/24/2001 -0500, Rich Puhek wrote: Ummm, maybe it's jus

frustration using /etc/modules.conf & 2.4.4 kernel
