You can try 'iptables -L" to see if a rule that blocks port 110 exists. You will have to get an answer from a rh user about the redhat way to configure or disable the firewall. -- Unix is a user friendly operating system. It just picks its friends more carefully than others. Thomas Stivers e-mail: stivers_t@tomass.dyndns.org gpg: 45CBBABD
