- I've been trying to nail this problem down, but come up with some
- problem(s) with doing such. here's the scenerio:
-
- I'm running Consensys V4 (AT&T SVR4) on my DTK 80486-25 machine. I've
- been able to get Cnews (may'92) going a number of months back, along with
- trn. The problem seems to be that at different times I'll see a problem with
- replying to postings via Rnmail. I'll see output like:
-
- (exiting cbreak mode)
- mail: error 11
-
- and then the normal prompt. What's strange about it is that sometimes,
- and I don't know why, a reply will get out. the majority of the time, however,
- I'll see the error 11, and I'll lose the mail. I've placed echo statements
- around parts of the Rnmail code, and the problem seems to be somewhere
- around the actual shipping of the code (where it sees that neither
- sendmail or recmail are used, and a number of sed lines exist).
-
- /bin/mail has a -rwxr-sr-x protection, while /bin/mailx has -r-xr--s--x
- on it. both Pnews and Rnmail have the same ownership/protection bin/755.
-
- Can anyone suggest what I might be able to do to resolve this problem?
