Hi good people,
I have about 4 questions, thanks for your time.
I am on 4.1-STABLE....so stable that I cannot throw it off balance!
First,I need help with mbox-es on my FBSD 4.1-S
By default EVERYONE is being told that the "mailbox is read-only" when
they try to delete messages from their mailboxes.
I am using popper3 as the POP3 server, mail is in the mbox format.
/var/mail is mod 775
the mboxes are mod rw
POP3 Server is running as root.
var/mail is owned by root.mail
Does anyone have pointers to what i could me missing?
Secondly, I have this script which I 'borrowed' from someone in this list.
It used to work fine before my recent CVSUP but now it gives me the error
below:
#script to display mounted slices without those mega details....;-)
mount | awk '{print $1 " on " $3}'
#Error is as follows
~$HOME/bin/mount: Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
I am not even a scripting newbie!!
Last but not least (my English teacher used to love this...), this line
shows the entry for a DOS partition on my system in fstab -
/dev/ad0s1 /win msdos rw 0 0
But mount says it is mounted read only!!!
I'm lost......
Thanks.
-Wash
