- I found something a little bizarre today.....I've been logged in and
- I've received several mail messages but no notification from biff.
-
- I verified that biff is y and logged in and out, logged in on the
- console, logged in as root (with biff y), and it still won't work. I
- can't reboot at the moment, but I suspect that would probably cure
- whatever this is.
-
- Has anybody else ever witnessed this behavior?
-
- The system is a Sun-SPARC2 running SunOS 4.1.1.......
