I would appreciate some help. I am trying to get Sun's PC Lifeline mail program to play properly with a POP2 server on our Sparc 1+. PC-NFS is running properly on a Zenith Z-386/20 but I get errors from Lifeline when it trys to read mail from the server. When I launch Lifeline, it properly tells me that new mail exists on the mail- server and to press 'N' to retrieve it. When I do this, it returns with error LL101W "Unable to log into server." As the message screen suggested, I verified that the passwords on the PC corresponds with the password on the Sun. The manual gives no addition help. If I try to read mail from a Sun account having no password (its just a test), I get a different error, LL105W "Protocol error detected." I'm stumped! On the PC we are running DOS 4.0, PC-NFS V. 3.0.1, and Lifeline. The Sparc is running SunOS 4.1 and the POP server as supplied with Lifeline. BTW, I can properly send mail from the PC to the Sun...go figure.

The manual gives no addition help. [some lines deleted] When we upgraded our machines to 4.1 our pop server died... I believe, Sun changed the way the c compiler handles the 'return' statement [ofcourse, without documenting it :-(] Here is the diff indicating the changes we made to get the popdaemon to work: ======================================================================== 1,7d0 < /* AMD changes by T.Z. Chiu July 15, 1990 < * changed #define MAILDIR "/usr/spool/mail/" to "/var/spool/mail/" < * added return (0) to end of check_user function < * added return to end of closeit function < * added return (0) to end of outmsg function < * added return (0) to end of net_out function < */ 167c160 < #define MAILDIR "/var/spool/mail/" --- > #define MAILDIR "/usr/spool/mail/" 379c372 < } --- > } 384c377 < } --- > } 394d386 < return (0); 586d577 < return ; 621c612 < } return (0); --- > } 630d620 < return (0); ======================================================================== Hope this helps. -- iNDRA | indra@amd.com or {ames apple uunet}!amd!indra | (Indra Singhal) (408) 749-5445; Advanced Micro Devices | MS 167; Box 3453; 901, Thompson Pl., Sunnyvale, CA 94088
