Greetings...
I am seeing a lockfile problem with procmail and cannot figure out what
the problem is....
I have successfully installed procmail on linux and have no problems, but
am trying to install on AIX3.2 and am seeing lockfile problems...
AIX 3.2
drwxrwsr-x 2 bin mail 4096 Jan 17 17:24 /var/spool/mail/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 10 Nov 5 1994 /usr/spool@ -> /var/spool/
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root mail 86800 Jan 17 13:10 /usr/local/bin/procmail*
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 10074 Jan 17 13:10 /usr/local/bin/lockfile*
.forward
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #darabe"
.procmailrc
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log
VERBOSE=yes
procmail: Locking "/usr/spool/mail/darabe.lock"
procmail: Error while writing to "/usr/spool/mail/_Xb1Ghome"
procmail: [6498] Wed Jan 17 22:20:37 1996
I get 8 of these and then procmail gives up and takes a kernel-lock and
delivers the mail.... I have none of these problems with the Linux
install of procmail that is identical.
Help?
