And why would it not be when the network start is S10network? >So I moved the spamassassin start to a 99 level script. But >fetchmail can be up before.

Note that I am on a desktop here, so network manager, which has so far been the cause of more network failures than all of my combined typu's ever have, is NOT running and has been nuked from the system. But, even my lappy, which uses DHCP, is getting started from S10network, NM has also been nuked there. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
