I installed stable, brought source up to date, and made world. When I try to mail, I get a message to the effect: collect: Cannot write dfg3MLI15o000166 (bfcommit,uid=10000,gid=25): permission denied queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfg3MLI16o000166, uid=1000: Permission denied Root does not get these messages, but other users do not receive messages. I'm also informed that mail is bouncing off the machine ( but I don't have the bounce messages). I'm assuming that this just needs a simple tweak to /etc/groups, or group or all write permission to a spool somewhere. If it makes a difference, when I first ran adduser, it came up defaulting to /home rather than /usr/home (there's a big drive mounted on ./home) hawk of less and less hair -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
