I have two users on my system. I'm trying to read their mailboxes from my NT box using the Pegasus mail client. I can read the mail for one user, but not for the other. The message displayed on the console is "-ERR Password supplied for "root" is incorrrect". I hope it's wanting the same password as used to logon using root at the console. Because that's what I'm supplying. I notice that in /var/mail, I have the following entries: .abcdef.pop abcdef root I don't get the error for the abcdef user (not the actual name). Should there be a .root.pop entry in this directory? If so, how should it be created? -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
