In my experience

Thanks to everyone for their helpful advice about fixing my web server. We ended
up connecting a dummy terminal to the box and resetting several passwords, and
now it works fine! Much easier than i'd expected :).
Thanks again!

Heya --
It could be easy, or not.
After you make any config changes to exim, you have to killall
-HUP exim to have it reread exim.conf. So if you forgot to do this
after setting up exim, that could be your problem.

Hi, Christian,
I had this exact problem on an SGI box. It turns out there was an error in
the /etc/passwd file for my account. I like to use bash (which is a custom
shell in Irix) and had moved the executable from /usr/freeware/bin to the
more standard /usr/sbin without remembering to change t
I would've said perhaps NIS issues, but that doesn't seem to be a factor
here since your on a cobalt. You need physical access to the box, and you

I have no idea about Cobalt web servers, but if this were a linux box I
would think there may be a problem starting a shell. I'm assuming there is
one because it uses ssh/telnet. If it is racked at an ISP, do they have
support that you can call who will hook up a console (or look at the LCD
