First, when you are logged in as root issue the passwd command and recreate your password. This may reset it and fix your problem.
Second, the reason you have mail is more than likely because of errors on your system. This is local mail, not mail from an external mail server. To access your mail, issue the 'mail' command. Hope that helps. -Jon On Sat, 2002-11-30 at 11:31, lrnobs wrote: > I am installing RH 7.3.
