An earlier poster suggested that maybe the issue is that your new user has never received any mail. Did you explore that possibility? It made a lot of sense to me (no mail, no /var/mail/<user> mail file).
LOL, yes, first thing I thought was "OK I screwed it up somehow" and so I checked into it a bit more, so I'm going to try first the options people have given me here, mainly the touch command, hopefully that will work correctly.
Instead of using touch, just send an email from "root", using plain mail for the purpose. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
