Yeah, it was a messy hack, but as it worked well enough on Red Hat I never got around to changing it.

Have done, but as it now all seems to work well with fetchmail being started up at boot time this is no longer a problem. What I am still trying to achieve is to get my sigmonster script and numlockx started at login, as well as getting my ~/bin/ dir included in my path, which works fine if I login at a tty, but not if I login using GDM, which appears to ignore my .bash_profile completely. The only other thing I have noticed is really really trivial, my system Bell no longewr seems to work under debian, which is weird and slightly annoying. -- James -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
