Could you elaborate just a little?  (I know the Server Settings isn't
normally something I should use alongside iTools, but I was
troubleshooting.)

Changing the ftp.darwin filename to ftp did solve the problem of the
"indeterminate ftp state" alert when I restarted and looked at Server
Settings.

However, the alert came back as soon as I reinstalled iTools.

Could you please describe how to change the /etc/hosts file regarding the
hostname resolution.  I don't intend to run the DNS server portion of
iTools, though if I have to to solve this, I suppose I will.

Also, I installed Post.Office but then changed my mind about running both my
mail services and web services on the same machine, so I uninstalled, but
the iTools Manager still tells me to use the web interface to administer
Post.Office when I click on the Mail icon.

Thanks,
-Cy
