BN_SLAVE dies badly here, causing the old (Joiner-supplied) local mail delivery daemon to run (and junking up everyone's mailboxes with a bunch of un-replyable addresses). However, when jnet was restarted, BN_SLAVE ran just fine! Does anyone know what could cause this? -------------------------- LMD.LOG ---------------------- >$ !
