Just setting things to 777 will NOT fix things in the UNIX work, especially with mail (sendmail in particular). You cannot have a world writable home directory if you want to use .forward files unless you tell sendmail that you really want to do this (I'm not going to put the details of how to do that here - I've never seen a situation where it's really required). All mail is going to you (root etc) and your .forward is in a world writable directory. Fix that and see what happens then. -- Tony Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tel : +61-(0)2-9500-9996 Mobile : +61-(0)4-2521-9996 GnuPG Key : 1024D/B5657C8B Key fingerprint = 9ED8 59CC C161 B857 462E 51E6 7DFB 465B B565 7C8B -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
