This has nothing to do with being a "firewall". If you are running Qpopper (POP3) this is a common problem. This happens when someone tries to pop into the same account when another session is already active. Or possibly the qpopper session crashed leaving the poplock file undeleted. There is no fix. You simply don't have multiple pop sessions. In practice, it's not a good idea to do so. -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor@inoc.net "If I had it all to do over again, I'd spell creat with an ""e"". - Kernighan" > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of > Karen Dynowski > Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 7:09 PM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: remove pop lock > > > I need to know how to remove a pop lock, from a free bsd firewall > I keep getting an error in > /usr/var/.username.pop lock busy!
