[SuSE Linux] I've messed up my mail setup
This is probably more suitable for another list/source, but this is the closest of the lists that I am subscribed to... Anyway, I've majorly messed up my mail setup. While compiling ddd, I ran into an out-of-space problem. Foolhardy as I was, I saw the problem in *a* temp directory, and thought the problem was in the /tmp directory. Since I had forgotten the disk space command (and was too lazy to find it), I assumed that the problem would be fixed if I wiped the /tmp directory. You see, I am used to this directory being full of excess stuff... Well, I took out the directory, re-established it, and tried to make a symlink to my /home directory, which I thought would have more room. This brought much disaster. Not only did it not fix my problem (I found out later once I belatedly got the xdf running that it was my compiling directory that had run out of room. Stupid newbie :-() it seems to have hosed something to do with mailbox permissions. None of my user logins can write to their mailbox through pine or elm, and mutt refuses to work properly with the su command, still trying to access the orginal login's mailbox. Does anyone have any ideas? What do I need to run/reinstall to ge things in proper order again? This'll teach me to make rash decisions about "space-making". Thanks in advance. -Chris - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
