I will use my home lan to connect to the FBSD box from my Mac, and read the mail. "Charles" is indeed a valid user on the FBSD box. I ssh to that box as charles, and am logged in as charles right now. On Jun 20, 2005, at 9:28 AM, fbsd_user wrote: > First of all I have qpopper running on 4.10 and 5.4 with out any > problems.
