Cheryl,
That worked! I always knew you were pretty smart. The source machine is
indeed a new Debian install on the new computer. The target machine is my
old Redhat install on an old computer. I want to use that machine to
receive mail, for backups, etc.
Thanks to everyone who helped in solving this problem, especially to
Janina.
