I have been trying to get mutt working on a Linux/RedHat 6.1 system.
The /var/spool/mail directory is NFS mounted from a FreeBSD system.
Mutt keeps telling me that user's mail files are "Read Only".
By running this command:
mutt | tee junk
cat junk
I have found this error:
fcntl: No locks available (errno = 37)
We use both elm and pine without problems. We also succesfully use
mutt on our SGIs which also mounts mail from this same FreeBSD system.
I can make mutt work by properly making mutt_dotlock setgid AND
by using the --disable-fcntl during a build (see -v output below).
However, I know that I need fcntl locking so that is not a solution.
Can someone tell me if the problems I am experiencing have something
to with the RedHat client system or with how the mail directory is
exported on the FreeBSD system?
