On the box on which I'm running netsaint, I'm seeing these messages appearing on my screen 
(not the console, my ssh session; and no, I'm not ssh'ing as root, nor have I used su to become 
root):

[dan@xeon:~] $ /home/dan/.mail_aliases: Permission denied
/home/dan/.mail_aliases: Permission denied
/home/dan/.mail_aliases: Permission denied
/home/dan/.mail_aliases: Permission denied
/home/dan/.mail_aliases: Permission denied
/home/dan/.mail_aliases: Permission denied
/home/dan/.mail_aliases: Permission denied

etc...

I think these messages appear when netsaint is sending out notifications.  But I don't know why 
it's trying to access .mail_aliases.  I guess I could do a chmod o+r .mail_aliases, but I'm not 
convinced that is a good thing.

clues?
