We're mounting server:/private.SPARC/usr/spool/mail onto /usr/spool/mail
on the clients.
>From the server, I mail something to user. The file shows up in
/private.SPARC/usr/spool/mail/user with 600 permissions. From the client,
logged in as user [or root, for that matter], I cannot even 'cat' the
file, even though it is 600. If I go back to the server and chmod 666 the
file, then from the clients, 'cat' works as does 'mail' to look at the
file.
Is this an NFS bug/feature? I have not seen anything about this
particular problem with mail. I'm trying to just READ the mail file from
a client workstation.
