Hello, At the beginning of January, I reported that mutt was losing mail. This behavior *appeared* to disappear with a certain kernel upgrade, but again it persists. Losing mail is a very serious system failure.
I do not know what may have changed to cause the failure again, but it is here. I am using mutt 0.95.1 as the client, and sendmail 8.9.2 is the server. /var/spool/mail is NFS-mounted from the server. Also, whenever I shut down the client (an Alpha box), it displays: lockd_down: no lockd running but I cannot find any lockd or even any mention of it anywhere under /etc. I have tried both with and without libnfslock. I have been stymied in my search for a solution by manpages such as nfs(5) that date back to: Linux 0.99 20 November 1993 4 I have tried enabling mandatory locking even though it is irrelevant. Please, can someone shed light on this? It is a very serious problem. -- John Goerzen Linux, Unix consulting & programming [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Developer, Debian GNU/Linux (Free powerful OS upgrade) www.debian.org | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Visit the Air Capital Linux Users Group on the web at http://www.aclug.org
