Tried many times in a row without any luck.  Why, does it work
the second time for you?

I'm using DES.

bash$ ls -l libcry*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  13 Oct 17 12:24 libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  18 Oct 17 12:24 libcrypt.so.2.0 -> libdescrypt.so.2.0

Hmm.  What are the owner/group of /var/mail and /usr/dt/bin/dtmail?
Is dtmail setuid or setgid?  Reading the help files on the mailer
leads one to think that this is the problem, but I'm not sure what
user/group should own it.  I had it setuid root and it still wouldn't
work.
