Not an acceptable solution. > I confess to not understanding how the calendar program code is supposed to work. I may have confused it by using the same user id for two different password file entries. I noticed, for example, that lines from one user's calendar file were sometimes mailed to the other user. I have since given up on running "calendar -a" via the /etc/periodic mechanism and now just run calendar for myself out of my own crontab. So far this seems to work. Dan Strick mla_strick@att.net
