So that tells us how you can lock.

Recompiling as above did not resolve % the issue. No, that won't do it. You can test your permissions by trying to manually dotlock something like cd $HOME touch testfile mutt_dotlock testfile to see what you get. You might play with the -t and -f parameters to see what you get. At this point, you should check with your sysadmin to look at how you might have your home dir exported to allow your box to run a program with SGID perms set. Alternatively, you might pull the mail in as usual but then save it to a Maildir after razor has finished with the box. Ugly, but a workaround :-) % % ag HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
