I know there is another file because this warning flashes but it is so fast I never get to read it.Can someone help me figure this out and make the change permanent somewhere so that I do not have to go to make /var/mail mode 1777 after every buildworld.. I suspect it also has something to do with my inability to use my mouse to copy and paste, which I was comfortably doing in 4.1-R but not anymore in 4.1-S. I need help withthis too... thanks -- Odhiambo Washington Systems Administrator Inter-Connect Ltd. 3rd Flr The Chancery Valley Rd PO Box 39519 Nairobi, KENYA Tel: 254 2 711140 Fax: 254 2 718418 All science is either physics or stamp collecting. -E.
