After a bit of fussing I got adb to fix sendmail on the Celerity. I haven't seen a method for using adb to fix fingerd and ftpd. They need fixing too. Before patting too many vendors on the back for fixing things (or distributing safe versions) let's see them fix the harder problems. -- Dan Schlitt Manager, Science Division Computer Facility dan@ccnysci City College of New York dan@ccnysci.bitnet New York, NY 10031 (212)690-6868
