Hi good people,

I have about 4 questions, thanks for your time.
I am on 4.1-STABLE....so stable that I cannot throw it off balance!

First,I need help with mbox-es on my FBSD 4.1-S
By default EVERYONE is being told that the "mailbox is read-only" when
they try to delete messages from their mailboxes.
I am using popper3 as the POP3 server, mail is in the mbox format.

/var/mail is mod 775
the mboxes are mod rw

POP3 Server is running as root.

var/mail is owned by root.mail

Does anyone have pointers to what i could me missing?

Secondly, I have this script which I 'borrowed' from someone in this list.
It used to work fine before my recent CVSUP but now it gives me the error
below:

#script to display mounted slices without those mega details....;-)
mount | awk '{print $1 " on " $3}'

#Error is as follows

~$HOME/bin/mount: Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

I am not even a scripting newbie!!


Last but not least (my English teacher used to love this...), this line
shows the entry for a DOS partition on my system in fstab -

/dev/ad0s1	/win	msdos	rw			0	0

But mount says it is mounted read only!!!

I'm lost......


Thanks.
