 I have problem to get my biff/comsat function correctly.  Everything sounds
in places.  /etc/services has biff as 512/udp and inetd.conf will bring up
the comsat in incoming message.
 My guess is that no message is ever arrive in that port.  Which process
will send message to biff port? Is local sendmail or remote sendmail or 
someone else?

Any suggestion ?

Thanks, 

Jessie
