I have just installed 3.1D on a 4D/70GT. When the system is coming up, I get two messages: mail: No group id of 'mail' Also, each time I login, I get the same message. Here is what I have checked so far. The message is coming from /etc/init.d/mail initially, there is a line which reads: chgrp mail . * if I enter this command (as root in the /usr/mail dir) I get the message: chgrp: unknown group: mail so then, I checked /etc/group, where there is indeed an entry for mail which looks like: mail::4:root So, whats the problem?? Any suggestions? I can change the line in /etc/init.d/mail to read: chgrp root . * which would get rid of the messages, but.. what problems might this introduce? Any suggestions, comments, etc. are more than welcome. Also: Not running YP No entry in /etc/passwd for mail (adding one didn't help anyway) Previous OS was 3.1C Thanks in advance.. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Facca | phone: 216-433-8318 NASA Lewis Research Center | Cleveland, Ohio 44135 | email: fsfacca@lerc08.nas.nasa.gov -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
