- My problem is this: I have a Data General DGUX Aviion System 5.4.2.
- I am running NIS, and I have /var/mail from my NIS server mounted on top
- of my local/var/mail directory. Whenever I send or try to read mail I
- get this error:
-
- UX:mailx: ERROR: Cannot set mandatory lock on '/var/mail/:saved
- /LCK..826': Permission denied
-
- UX:mailx: ERROR: Cannot set mandatory file lock on temp lockfile.
-
- The permissions on all directories leading to and including the :saved
- directory are all 777. I can create files in there all day long, but
- it errors on the mailer. Any help would be nice, I am stumped!
