Here is a quick survey of the local delivery agents invoked by sendmail on some local machines. The following use .lock files: OSF1 copper V3.2 148 alpha HP-UX ophelia B.10.01 A 9000/819 5611371 two-user license IRIX kalondin 5.3 02091401 IP22 mips ULTRIX nickel 4.4 0 RISC I wasn't able to confirm the local delivery agent for: SunOS cheyenne 5.5.1 Generic_103640-01 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1 because sendmail.cf was only readable by root, but judging from the mail(1) man page, I suspect it uses .lock files as well. HP-UX, Solaris, ULTRIX, and IRIX are using 1777 for mail directories while OSF1 is using 777. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================
