This is interesting: I had problems with sendmail, telnet and ftp
after upgrading to Colgate. This might have been caused by the fact
that at the the time of the ftp upgrade I filled in my full hostname 
	moni.msci.memphis.edu
instead of just
	moni Maybe this (possibly wrong) info then somehow got saved
at the end of the upgrade (I was not asked about it during
installation).
