Modify it to let root's mail go to your username. Then run "newaliases" command to make changes active - given that you use Sendmail. Then you'll have to run an IMAP/POP3 server to access your mail through a GUI client. Install dovecot if that is not already installed. The POP3 service should then work out of the box. Alexander P.S. You had never (not with RH9 nor with prior releases) the ability to access the root account for checking his mail using a GUI client. IMAP and POP3 access to the root account is strictly prohibited because of severe security reasons. -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG key 1024D/ED695653 1999-07-13 Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 (Tettnang) kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3.ad.umlsmp Serendipity 15:37:20 up 1 day, 19:29, load average: 0.52, 0.49, 0.47
