   The same guru who directed me to change biff to 'n' in /etc/profile told
me to comment out comsat in /etc/inetd.conf, too. Yes, it's supposed to be
called only when biff = y, but commenting it out silenced the incoming mail
beep. Another key difference in defaults between Red Hat and Slackware.

   Excelsior! X Window System problems next on the list.
