I just installed the appropriate package with the mail locking header files (package is called 'liblockdev1' in Debian) and then re-ran the 'configure' script. No option changes were involved. This time 'configure' picked up library mail locking functions. I'm guessing that before it didn't know about them and instead configured locking incompatible with the MTA (Z-Mailer in our case, but I think my comments apply equally well to Sendmail.) -- Roy Bixler The University of Chicago Press [EMAIL PROTECTED]
