I have a sparc470 running sunOS 4.1.1 that I just installed. It is giving me difficulties with /var/spool/mail (I think). I have *one* account (*my* users account) which can user "mail" properly to read incoming mail. That is... I can type "mail" and if I have mail, am able to read it. All other accounts have a problem. When another user types "mail" to read his/her mail, it takes a very long time for the list of mail to show up like: <machine1-4> mail Mail version SMI 4.0 Thu Oct 11 12:59:09 PDT 1990 Type ? for help. "/usr/spool/mail/messina": 70 messages 2 unread 68 barbero@di.unito.it Tue May 28 10:29 42/1910 >U 69 buclin Tue May 28 14:07 12/313 U 70 buclin Tue May 28 14:07 12/313 & and then upon typing a number like "68" or "69" it bombs out. &69 <machine1-5> 69: Command not found. what should I be checking so that I can solve this problem?! My users are "mail-frustrated!!!" /frustrated [ -- _____________________________________________________________________________ | shawn@litsun.epfl.ch -.- KLEIN BOTTLE FOR SALE ... \####### | Shawn Edwin Koppenhoefer \_/ ... enquire within \###### | Sun System-Manager, EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) \##### | EL-Ecublens, CH 1015 Lausanne SWITZERLAND (021)6934703 telefax=474660 \#### | from Canada dial: 011-41-21-693-4703 __________________________________|### |_____________________________________/
