I can't get elm to work properly w/o making the permissions in /var/mail 777. I thought since elm was setgid and that /var/mail had group mail and elm was set gid that it would work ok that way...any thoughts on this...perhaps I have been compiling it incorrectly?... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- College of Arts & Sciences Computing Services John A.
