Greets All:

I've got a 3.2 stable box on which I've disabled inetd, as advised in
JKB's security how-to.  Now my logs reveal the following:

/kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:1126 . 

So biff is wanting comsat to notify me about mail.  Yet I don't have
biff=y anywhere in my .login or .profile.  Clould someone please clue me
in here. Is this something in sendmail.cf?  

Thanks--Ken
