- I've been running MH(xmh) on the RS6000 for several year with no trouble.
- But, I now have a SPARC station that mounts the same directory (/usr/spool/mail)
- that I was using on the RS6000. MH comes installed on AIX but not in my
- SPARC. I built MH and it is working fine _except_ for one little problem
- that messes everything up. It changes my unix group name.
-
- My maildrop in usr/spool/mail is
-
- jzwiebel mail jzwiebel
-
- If I run inc (the MH command) it reads in any mail in my drop but when it
- recreates the maildrop file it changes the group
-
- jzwiebel comm jzwiebel
-
- This is probably something really dumb on my part but I can't find it.
- I tried to follow the source in inc.c but if the answer is there it isn't
- obvious to me. I looked into all the configuration files that come with
- MH and compared them with the RS6000 files. No luck. I also double checked
- /etc/group and they seem to be correct.
-
- Is there something other than MH I sould be looking at?
-
- Thanks
