You mean to say > its worse with gamin? No, I said that courier works perfectly and *only* with fam. No problem whatsoever with it. You just need to set the right rule in inetd.conf for fam. Otherwise you get these log warnings ;-) You could also compile courier *without* fam support. The inetd.conf rule for fam: # FAM: File Alteration Monitor [devel/fam] sgi_fam/1-2 stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/local/bin/fam fam Not that difficult imho. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 6.0 +++ The Power to Serve
