Alexander, Yes, I did cahnged the permission on /tmp: # chmod 1777 /tmp but never touched /var/spool/mail's permission. Since then, I pay attention to all warning message and found this one. The pine package was download, pine.tar.gz for Unix system, pine4.58. I downloaded pine for RH9, but it does not work. Most users use SquirrelMail and EMUMail, some users use Outlook Express and NetscapeMail, a few people still like pine (that is why I downloaded and installed it). We had a problem when /tmp had wrong permission. Thanks for your help, after I change the permission, these mail tools work normally. But, I see this warning message in system log, LogWatch to the root, and when trying a test account's pine. Should I remove the pine? Will that make the warning not showing? Thanks!
