Dear Sun Managers,

I got a lot people who are interested on the problem so here's the summary.
My problem is fixed. Users' .cshrc file has a line

biff n
 
By removing that line, and restart the windows, the error message went away.
Special thanks to the following managers listed below who suggested me to look
for 'biff' or 'mesg' commands in the .cshrc file, remove them and put them in
the .login file so they will executed properly.
 
Also please pardon my stupidity about the tmp protection that has nothing to
do with this and thanks to all who suggested me to reset the protection for
it.

Thanks again, Aline...
