Hi, thanks for the answer and sorry for not getting back to this earlier - I simply couldn't find the time.

I did change root's umasks as I wanted to make the system more secure, I wasn't aware that this could cause problems - I changed it back to the default 022. > You should not even have a /usr/local directory. > man filesystem. Well, there's no doubt that I do, and I am sure I didn't put it there by hand. Maybe it was setup with a package installed from an non-Sun repository (blastwave). I chmod'ded the perms on /usr/local and configure & make now work without being su :-) > Fix your Makefile. Instead of just -L/usr/sfw/lib you should > also have -R/usr/sfw/lib.

I gathered from reading through man ld and ld.so, that ls.so could be used to do dynamic linking but I have no clue how to do that. Anyway mailsend now does what I want it to do, so I am sticking with it until it breaks. Thanks again for your help! -bastian -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
