Well been having a weird problem with mandrake 8.0 and not sure what's
causing it. Using KDE and like the knode and kmail readers. Well knode got
to where it wouldn't start and traced it to there being two copies of this
.file called .DCOPserver_localhost.localdomain in my /home/stephe
directory. This box has no nic card and this user is mainly an internet
one. When I delete one of these files (or both) nothing bad happens but
knode then runs fine. Then after a while, these files get regenerated and
it won't work again. Any clues as to what is generating these files?
Firewall perhaps? I see this "localhost" is defined in my network config,
is that needed? I hate to do something dumb and make the internet
connection dead where I can't ask what I've done wrong..

Besides this, I'm enjoying NOT using windows :-)

are you shutting down knode and kmail properly? sometimes if you dont it
will leave FIFOs lying around
