tags 157372 unreproducible retitle 157372 [TO CLOSE] login: does weird things with $MAIL if comment lines in login.defs contain MAIL_FILE thanks
(control BCC'ed....:-)) Marc, while digging in my can of worms, I'm completely unable to reproduce this bug you reported. I think it was either transitory, or induced by something else on the system you were then using, or whatever else.... On a woody system (same for a sarge system): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# grep MAIL /etc/environment [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# grep MAIL ~tintin/.* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# grep ^MAIL /etc/login.defs MAIL_FILE .mail/mailbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# grep MAIL_FILE /etc/login.defs # below. MAIL_FILE defines the $MAIL environment variable as the # directory before $MAIL_FILE, and QMAIL_DIR defines the MAIL MAIL_FILE .mail/mailbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# login thot login: tintin Password: Linux thot 2.4.26 #1 SMP ven avr 30 13:23:55 CEST 2004 i686 unknown Most of the programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are freely redistributable; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
