Upgraded to latest snapshot and Biff is alive and barking again ;-).
Thanks Todd.

Is your mail being delivered to /var/mail/yourname or do you have
a .forward file? The comsat daemon is notified by mail.local which
delivers mail to the local mail spool. If you have a .forward file,
mail.local is not used and you won't get a biff notification.

It's what delivers messages to /var/mail/username when invoked

It looks like this is fallout from the strtonum() conversion in
comsat. The issue is that mail.local writes a trailing newline
after the offset that we need to trim. This fixes it.

Hello,
After running:
# cp /etc/example/inetd.conf /etc/
# /etc/rc.d/inetd -f start
$ biff y
$ echo Hello | mail -s 'testing biff' `whoami`
Biff should print its message and beep in login shells. But nothing
happens.
Now I have installed:
