Any ideas : what I could do about this??? Set the execute permission on the file /usr/local/etc/pop3d? chmod 755 /usr/local/etc/pop3d (or maybe 611, or even 111 mode). : Another problem has been the time it takes to establish a connection : with the FreeBSD box. It takes way to long when ping returns round trips : of 0 milli seconds. Any suggestions on how to improve the connect speed. Buy a faster computer? Pop uses TCP connections, and connection-setup times are relatively long, especially on slow machines with a slow kernel-calling mechanism. x86 counts as all of these. ;^) Wes Peters
