1)  How would I go about disabling incoming ftp, and incoming finger?

2) Does anyone have an irc client that compiles under slack. 00.99.15?

THanks.

3) How would I go about getting sendmail to redirect mail to an account
using a name that is not used on the system?

ie: mail directed to 'sv' would go to 'svision'.

Thanks

Just remove the corresponding line in /etc/inetd.conf

      Simple.. disable in.ftpd in /etc/inetd.conf :)

     Havent recompiled our clients since pl14o ... and they work just
  great.... I dont think pl15 would cause any problems to the compilation
  of irc...

    In your /usr/lib/aliases file .... enter eg.
    sv: svision
   That should do it..
