[comp.sys.sgi] Elm2.3 Patch 11 Problem

marc@rainbow.mitre.org (Marc Friedman) (04/24/91)

	I've just installed Patch Level 11 to my elm2.3 and am 
having an odd problem.  For some strange reason, elm no longer
looks at my aliases I've set-up.  Consequently, mailing to an
alias yields returned mail with the error message saying unknown
user.

	Update Procedure:

		cd /usr/local/lib/elm2.3
		patch -p -N < patch10
		patch -p -N < patch11
		make
		make install
		
	Does anyone know how to make this work??  I was previously
using Patch 9 and everything was working well.

Thank you very much in advance.

If you're getting your alias feed through NIS (formerly YP), make sure you
link with -lsun.  Otherwise, elm will only look at your local aliases (and
password entries, etc.).
