hi,
yes, you can do that. that would be the quick fix to get pine 2mdk working
for now. i actually thought about the symlink before. but i guess the more
effective way would be to change how pine works. it only involves changing a
#define ...so you can rest assured that no bugs in pine will surface due to
my patch ;-)
either way, you will have to change one package, either the passwd package,
or the pine package. i decided on the latter ;-)
