Well, if it is any consolation, I've been getting those too. I noticed
that my root mailbox was very full and constantly got mail. Like you,
however, I couldn't decipher it (or didn't take the time to figure it
out). What did you end up doing?
Incidentally, I'm running RedHat 6.2 on the box as I write this. Stable
performance. Ditto when I tried Debian. Makes me want to switch.
What are/did you do about it?
Cheers,
Ron
