About a week ago, someone asked about a tool to edit user mailboxes. I noted I had a tool that did this with an eye to imposing a limit on user mailboxes, and volunteered to send the program and/or source code to those who asked. Little did I know what would happen to my inbox! I've cleaned up the source a bit, written a small man page and package-aware makefile, and posted the FreeBSD package and matching source in: <ftp://ftp.us.net/pub/unix/freebsd/purgmbox-1.0.tgz>; <ftp://ftp.us.net/pub/unix/freebsd/purgmbox-1.0src.tgz>; The package is linked with /usr/lib/compat, so it should work on both 2.2.x and 2.1.x systems. This uses flock(2) on the mailbox; I don't know if it's needed, but I'd rather have more than less. Please let me know if this bites you. -- John Woodruff, Sr. Network Engineer, US Net - 301-572-5926 Washington/Baltimore/Richmond ISP - $6.95/month for full PPP!
