And unless SGI has fixed things, their inet_ntoa() and inet_aton() resolver
libs are broken (resolving everything as 255.255.255.255 if I'm not wrong).
You might have to get error-free files from someplace like the innd package
and use them. [or maybe a fixed library is available at freeware.sgi.com]

Yes. Poke around for /var/mail/$local_part in the local_delivery transport.
Change that to /home/$local_part/mbox and then put EXPORT
MAIL=/home/username/mbox in /home/username/.profile (or wherever, depending
on your shell)

Put pine in the bashrc or whatever startup script.

Dont do that.

You may have to recompile pop3d / imapd to use ~/mbox instead of /var/mail
