But this is (IMHO) _not_ related to the lock file locking : method in question here. The latter is done in the mail spool, and : it's the only method allowing to lock the mail spool file if it's NFS : mounted between several machines (which usually don't have a shared : /tmp). Hi ! It is possibly that You're right, but my machine doesn't work as a NFS server or client - so dot-style locking is enough for me. Witek Swierzy swierzy@tc3.ich.us.edu.pl
