I get denied trying to unlink my mailbox file on redhat 6.1, apparently because I don't have write permissions to the directory. All is well. Under Debian (slink) I can't either. Something that would be interesting to confirm, however, was an oddity I noticed with the SGI/va/debian special release of slink (1 cdrom, came with a debian bumper sticker and a demo version of some game.) Regular Slink has it's groups OK, but in a review of sendmail security, I noticed that for some reason, there was a: define(`confDEF_USER_ID',uid:gid)dnl where the uid was mail, and the gid was a nonexistant group, but a mail group existed. In my full copy of slink (came with Dale Scheetz' book, think I spelled that right,) the uid:gid was OK. Chris Rhodes
