The log messages have nothing to do with pine. When I installed F1, I did not install pine and was still getting those messages. Changing permissions on /var/spool/mail solved it.
Quoting Hongwei Li hongwei@morpheus.wustl.edu:
Alexander,
Yes, I did cahnged the permission on /tmp:
# chmod 1777 /tmp
but never touched /var/spool/mail's permission. Since then, I pay attention to all warning message and found this one. The pine package was download, pine.tar.gz for Unix system, pine4.58. I downloaded pine for RH9, but it does not work. Most users use SquirrelMail and EMUMail, some users use Outlook Express and NetscapeMail, a few people still like pine (that is why I downloaded and installed it). We had a problem when /tmp had wrong permission. Thanks for your help, after I change the permission, these mail tools work normally. But, I see this warning message in system log, LogWatch to the root, and when trying a test account's pine.
Should I remove the pine? Will that make the warning not showing?
Thanks!
Hongwei

/var/spool/mail should have the following permissions: drwxrwxrwt (it should have the sticky bit set).
No, the default permissions are proper!
Hongwei, we had exactly that topic on Thursday last
week and I explained
it to you. So what did you change and how do you use
mail? Which pine
(source or packager and version) do you use? How else
do users read
mail? Are the log entries caused by users using pine
and a different
mail client same time?
