The short answer is it doesn't matter. Hostname and DNS name are quite different. While you can make them the same, they really don't have to be. When people lookup dell.kooper.ca, only the DNS is used. The hostname is irrelevant. > 2. chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d > What does it mean by sticky bit "+ t" man chmod Look under the MODES section and find 1000. --- Samuel Chow cyschow@shaw.ca Segmentation Fault (core dumped) This message is displayed using recycled electrons.
