im getting this on a buncha systems when i run 'newaliases' mail:/etc/mail# newaliases warning: cannot lock /etc/mail/aliases: Error 0 /etc/mail/aliases: 332 aliases, longest 63 bytes, 12743 bytes total
but according to lsof nothing is using it: mail:/etc/mail# lsof | grep /etc/mail/aliases mail:/etc/mail# even when i shut the mail server down(sendmail) i still get the can't lock aliases file. most of the systems are running sendmail 8.9.3 but this particular one uses 8.11.3 (all of them experience that warning) doesn't seem to be harmful but wanted to know if there is a way to track down what could be locking it. thanks nate
