Hi All -
I have some mysterious problems related to mailx and pine.
The machine is a Solaris 5.8 box.
The following commands will just hang.
mailx
mailx -f foomail, where foomail is in a user's home directory
cat foomail (after mailx -f foomail has been invoked)
cp foomail foomail2 (after mailx -f foomail has been invoked)
pine will hang if it is accessing mail folders in a user's home directory
and it will hang when it tries to send out mail.
User's home directories are NFS filesystems.
However, mailx -f /var/mail/logname will work and if foomail is moved
to /tmp, then mailx -f foomail will also work.
Executing mailx foo@home.net will work.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks,
Paul
