It means, "Please don't send HTML encoded mail to a public mailing list." No wait... it doesn't mean that. It means that somewhere in your inetd.conf page there is an error. Try commenting out all lines but one in that file, then try to start inetd. If it starts, then kill it, uncomment one more line, and try again. Repeat this procedure till you find the offending line, then fix it. :) Good luck, Doug -- "Live free or die" - State motto of my ancestral homeland, New Hampshire Do YOU Yahoo!?
