Hello everybody! I'm sorry if this isn't very FreeBSD specific, but you guys are the best... I tried to play with rsh recently... All of this because I couldn't fetch my mail normally trough fetchmail and similar programs.So I'm tryng to create a shell script using fetch to get the mail and rsh to delete it on the remote. I have achieved a normal login, and been able to pass the command ( echo -n "" > /var/mail/$USER ) normally. But then I tried: rsh -Kl beaupran derby.jsp.umontreal.ca echo -n "" ">" /var/mail/beaupran and after a few seconds, I get: permission denied... how is that possible? Anybody's goot any idea of how I should do this? Trying to simply delete the file using ftp got me permission denied. but the 'echo -n "" > /var/mail/beaupran ' thing worked. How come? thanks! +-----------------------------------+ | Free the world from businessmen | | Free yourself from your money | +-----------------------------------+ Free the web.
