[comp.unix.sysv386] elm and SCO Open Desktop

Elm doesnt work unless root sends the mail.  If a non-root user sends mail
an error is generated by submit ...

I know this came across a few times last month but since I didnt have ODT I
didnt capture the info.  There is a fairly simple fix for this... Has anyone
else still got this fix hanging around ???

There is a problem with the way permissions are set I think.

Thanks ...  Rob.

Yup, it is permissions. The following solved my problem:
  1. su to mmdf
  2. run /usr/mmdf/bin/checkup
  
That should solve your permissions problems.

It didnt.  The program ran,  But the Permission denied error persists.
