Hi - Before anyone waste any time on the problems described below, it turns out the source the problems is that lockd had died on our server box. Best, Paul The original message: --------------------------------------------------------------------- I have some mysterious problems related to mailx and pine. The machine is a Solaris 5.8 box. The following commands will just hang. mailx mailx -f foomail, where foomail is in a user's home directory cat foomail (after mailx -f foomail has been invoked) cp foomail foomail2 (after mailx -f foomail has been invoked) pine will hang if it is accessing mail folders in a user's home directory and it will hang when it tries to send out mail. User's home directories are NFS filesystems. However, mailx -f /var/mail/logname will work and if foomail is moved to /tmp, then mailx -f foomail will also work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu May 23 12:13:12 2002
