18 For whatever reason, mail wasn't coming in : it was going out.
19 I edited /etc/conf.d/netmount to comment 'dhcpcd' & now all's well :
20 it was listed by 'etc-update', so I assumed it needed authorising
21 -- the notes in the file are explicit -- ,
22 but I don't want DHCP running as a daemon.
23 Also, the router connection is as before & 'sit0' has disappeared.
