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......
