Hello, I found this message between Chad and Philip on DejaNews and
I'm having the same problem.  It has helped to solve my problem
because i now know why it is not working.  However, when it is trying
to write the lock hitching file to my /var/spool/mail directory, it is
trying to write it as the user zzz, however, only root and mail have
r/w access to the /var/spool/mail directory .. well, to create a new
file anyways.  so there's a file 
    rw-rw----  zzz  mail   0 somedate  zzz
but the perms for /var/spool/mail are
    rwxrwx---  root mail   0 somedate  mail


how do i go about solving this problem so zzz can write a lock
hitching file (which I have no clue what it does) .. to the
/var/spool/mail directory? =)

thank you very much!!!!
