Check for some stray popper process that has the mailbox locked. If you are sure that no popper is running and accessing the same mailbox (for instance, you have recently rebooted, and no such process could exist right now), you can do one of the following. a) If the user.lock file is the `old mailbox state', and the /var/mail/user file is empty, just move user.lock to /var/mail/user and fix permissions. b) If the user.lock file is empty, just remove the thing. It all depends on what POP server you are running, and what the /var/mail/user* files contain. --giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
