I have the new machine mostly setup, but it is still unable to send 
mail.

mail -sabc someone@somehere.org

at first appears to have succeded, and returns to the shell.


Then I get:

slytherinttyp1:hawk>collect: Cannot write ./dfg6VE77n7000152 (bfcommit, uid=1000, gid=25): Permission denied
queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfg6VE77n7000152, uid=1000: Permission denied
rw
[1] 153


A web search leads me to believe that this is a sendmail permissions
problem (and I did have trouble installing sendmail during make 
instllworld until I did it single user), but  those also seem to 
suggest that an installwrold will fix it.  It doesn't, though.

hawk, stranded again
