Hello everyone, I have a problem with mail aliases which I cannot figure out. In the /etc/aliases file the exists the following alias: listserv: "|/bin/cat >> /usr/guest/ermis/requests" which is obviously intended to divert any mail sent to 'listserv' to another account (ermis) in the file 'requests'. But whenever I send mail to listserv, I get the following error message from MAILER-DAEMON (along with a copy of my original message): ----- Transcript of session follows ----- Cannot exec '/bin/sh' errno=13 554 "|/bin/cat >> /usr/guest/ermis/requests"... Service unavailable Does anyone know what this message means? For the record, let me tell you that the protection in the ermis home directory is drwsrwxrwx; also for the record, I have noticed that when I do an 'ls -l' there seem to be no group memberships or ownerships for both the home directory and its files. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance, tasos tasos@bacardi.bu.edu
