Subject:   mail command tries to read wrong user's mail
Message-ID:  <znadznyt1z.dzn@localhost.localdomain>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I log in as "johndoe", su to "root" and enter the basic "mail" command and
get this message: "No mail for johndoe".

Command "id -p" gives (first two lines):
login   johndoe
uid     root

Anyone know how I should fix this?

P.S.  For now, I'm using "mail -f /var/mail/root".

Thanks.
