I restored everything I'd bothered to backup. I'm running named and have alised the 10.0.0.1 address to the lo0 device. My routing table looks like this Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 130.194.1.99 UGc 5 0 ppp0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 UH 1 54 lo0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 1 lo0 130.194.1.89 130.194.1.99 UGHW 1 59 ppp0 130.194.1.99 130.194.1.99 UGHW3 0 5 ppp0 3598 130.194.1.100 130.194.1.99 UGHW3 0 16 ppp0 2600 130.194.10.65 10.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 130.194.11.7 130.194.1.99 UGHW3 0 393 ppp0 3500 The default is created when I start pppd. Whenever I try to finger the 10.0.0.1 address I keep getting a message : finger: Permission denied. The fingerd daemon is running without any flags. Can someone direct me as to what I am missing ? Thanx in advance. David H. dhenshaw@silas.cc.monash.edu.au
