Hi all,
I've been getting an irritating recurring syslog entry that I'd like to
track down and stifle, but I'm at a loss as to discover what process is
causing the entry.
The entry is (from logcheck output) this:
Jun 22 16:02:02 ICMP message type destination unreachable - bad port from
127.0.

You need to be root to run pppconfig, but you probably already know that.

To all experiencing the 2.4.5 swap problems, you guys should follow the
kernel lists or read kernel-traffic when running the latest kernels.
IIRC, shortly after kernel 2.4.5 was released there was a report of
problems involving swap and memory use.
The fix was to have twice as much swap as RAM

Get rid of fetchmail and use masqmail to fetch your mails as well as to
que and deliver them. I do this and have no problems retrieving mail from
two different mail servers. Masqmail also supports apop which does not
send your mail password unencrypted like pop3 does. You can use
