I assume you don't have a news server on your system? If not:

Check to see if /var/log/news is refenced in /etc/syslog.conf. If it is,
comment out the lines that refer to files in that directory. Or
alternatively, make a /var/log/news directory. Syslogd has a problem if it
can't open files it's supposed to be logging to, and so it generates all
those error messages.

I was just wondering if anyone out there has had any luck with the
'poppasswd' package.  I have tried setting it up on a Debian 1.2 system,
but it just freezes up when I try to change the password from Eudora.  A
list of all the processes shows that 'poppasswd' is running along with a
'passwd rcb'.  These must be killed manually, otherwise they hang around
even after pressing the 'Stop' button in Eudora.

Thanks for any help and happy holidays!
