Hello, I'm new to FreeBSD and Unix. I installed it Sunday, got out my "Teach Yourself..." book on Unix and started working exercises, no problems. This morning I've got a continuous stream of error messages on the first virtual terminal. There seem to be basically two messages with minor variation that repeat over and over. They are: "sendmail[174]: NOQUE: low on space (have 0, STMP-DAEMON needs 101 in /var/spool/mqueue" and "/kernel: pid NNNN (mgetty, uid 0 on /var: file system full" NNNN can be replaced by 5488, 5493, 5489 and possibly others "last message repeated XXX times" XXX varies depending on the value of NNNN above. The relevant output of df: (4 gig SCSI disk) /dev/da0s2e 99183 99134 -7885 109% /var ps didn't show any surprises. Obviously something ate up all the room in /var but I don't have the tools yet to track down what's going on. I don't feel like I've given anyone enough to information to help me out but I'm stuck on how to proceed. Any help appreciated. I've installed FreeBSD 3.4 off the January 2000 CD's. I selected the X-User Distribution. I set up one user account and the only installation problem I had was configuring Xfree86. That errored out and I decided to put it off until later. Other than that it was a smooth process. I look forward to hearing from the list, John Purser To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
