Yes.

Thanks a lot (and to Dennis). That was it, and I know you replied again
saying mupdate has to be in /etc/services but even this email triggered
the thought and connected the dots. It is trying to connect now, to
mupdate, tested without starting master itself and just by running
ctl_mboxlist -m. That is great. Thanks again. I'm having another error:

ctl_mboxlist[10222]: failed to bind to address 0.0.0.0: Invalid
argument

but I remember seeing it even with 2.2.12, and I will double check
that.

Mike
