Yes. It was a combination of not having the right content in /etc/passwd /etc/group and file permissions and directory permissions of my home directory. Now for the record here is what things look like: asimha@ASIMHA-W2K /home]$ ls -l total 0 drwx------+ 8 asimha Administ 0 Feb 15 21:03 asimha [asimha@ASIMHA-W2K ~]$ ls -l .procmailrc -rw-------+ 1 asimha Administ 2246 Feb 15 00:38 .procmailrc [asimha@ASIMHA-W2K ~]$ !procmail procmail VERBOSE=yes .procmailrc < testmail procmail: [3836] Sat Feb 15 21:06:48 2003 procmail: Rcfile: "/home/asimha/.procmailrc" procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/asimha" procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/asimha/mail/" procmail: Assigning "FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail" procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=/home/asimha/procmail.log" procmail: Opening "/home/asimha/procmail.log" Now ssh is happy with the permissions and ownership as well. Thanks to all who helped. And anyone who runs into this problem please feel free to email me (while copying [EMAIL PROTECTED] of course :-). I now have mutt, procmail, fetchmail, ssh, aspell combination working. I want to get something decent working for printing from within mutt next. Currently for printing from mutt I use a simple shell script: #!/bin/sh cat $1 > /tmp/tmp.txt cygstart --print /tmp/tmp.txt this allows the tmp.txt to be handled by winword (default handler for txt files in my setup). I'm sure that there are better ways but this works for directly connected and network printers. -ajay > > So perhpas your home directory is world writeable, or group writeable. > > -- > Greg Matheson No trees were killed in the sending of this message. > Dr Bean's Penpal Pool However, a great many instructions were executed. > Address: palpool --from Richard Rognlie's signature > Domain: @cn91.chinmin.edu.tw -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
