Hello: I configured a 3.2 box and following the suggestion in the security how-to by jkb disabled inetd. So okay, comsat is now not running so I get lots of these messages in /var/log/messages: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:2036 So.... I figured out that this was coming from the mail.local setting in sendmail.cf and added a -b flag to line 1070 get the following: 1068 Mlocal, P=/usr/libexec/mail.local, blah,blah,blah... 1069 T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, 1070 A=mail.local -l -b Is this the correct way to be doing this? I've seen this question come up before but searching the archives I've been unable to find the fix. -- Thanks--Ken http://www.y2know.org/safari Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with your Microsoft product.
