:I have a suggestion for the FreeBSD maintainers. : :In /bin/login, please don't check for mail when the user is root. And :in the case that the mail filesystem is mounted via NFS from a :non-responding server, it hangs root logins. : :Root logins on machine A should never ever ever require machine B :to be up. : :Rahul
You should be able to fix this trivially in /etc/login.conf. Look at the standard: entry's setenv for MAIL and do something similar for root's, pointing MAIL somewhere else. I haven't tried this myself, but it should work. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
