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:

comsat
in.comsat(1M) System Administration Commands in.comsat(1M)
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.

NOTES
The message header filtering is prone to error.
The in.comsat service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/network/comsat:default
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil-
ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config-
uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
