When I sued to use Pine on my RedHat system I didnt have a passwd for Pine. In fact I dont think Pine itself has a passwd as its not needed on Linux. You have to login and get a shell up to start Pine so how can anyone use Pine without knowing your login passwd. Looking thru my old .pinerc config file there is no mention of any password. Does it ask you for a password? PS. I notice you seem to be sending your mail from root. Not a good idea. Send it when logged in as a normal mortal user :-) Mike -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Lake Active caver, Linux enthusiast and interested in anything technical.
