The real problem was file system damage with a trashed Systems file (of
course...).  I restored the Systems file, but for about 8 hours or so,
ihnp4 probably reject attempts to talk to it.  I'll refix the
remote.unknown mode to allow everyone in to send mail (this periodically
gets reset to the restricted default by updates to UUCP).

Sorry about the break in service, but I stopped "living" on ihnp4 last
October.
