neo, also, a couple months ago the lan guy changed some settings, I had to go in and put in the ip of the machine he's using as a DNS server before the linux boxes would show up on our network, I used linuxconf, should I check somewhere else for DNS info? Which log files are you talking about? I looked in /var/logs

in boot.log everything, inet, succeeds starting up.

in maillog i see "My unqualified hostname (mickey) unknown, sleeping for retry. Unable to qualify my own domain name"

in messages I see "ftpusers file is either world writeable or not a normal file" and also "linuxconf-setup setting firewalling" but i specifically turned off the firewall and it shows as turned off in in linuxconf and:
un 3 08:09:37 mickey inetd[2975]: dtalk/tcp: unknown service

and in the secure log:

NAME
in.comsat, comsat - biff server SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/in.comsat DESCRIPTION
comsat is the server process which listens for reports of incoming mail and notifies users who have requested to be told when mail arrives. It is invoked as needed by inetd(1M), and times out if inactive for a few minutes. comsat listens on a datagram port associated with the biff service specification (see services(4)) for one line messages of the form user@mailbox-offset If the user specified is logged in to the system and the associated terminal has the owner execute bit turned on (by a biff y), the offset is used as a seek offset into the appropriate mailbox file, and the first 7 lines or 560 characters of the message are printed on the user's terminal. Lines which appear to be part of the message header other than the From, To, Date, or Subject lines are not printed when displaying the message. FILES
