Hi!

Wayne Larmon has told me about an error with the Lynx version shipped with
M6 which seems to have occurred with several people.

Lynx refuses to start with the error message:

        metamail: Can't open temporary file

Installing an older version of lynx (lynx-ssl-2.8.2-32) removed that
problem.

I asked Wayne to send me an output of 'ls -l metamail' since I mean to
remember that metamail has to run setuid root. It doesn't.

        -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        41756 May 11 09:18

But running the M6 version of Lynx as root didn't solve the problem, so
there might be something else involved here.

Has anybody here encountered that error or is able to reproduce it (I
*still* haven't received my copy...)? Anyone at M an idea what may cause
this?

Regards

tom
