Re: [CentOS] No "you have new mail" message on login

To answer my own mail ...

I've never had to do this before but this is what did the trick to show mail on login and ssh login:

/etc/pam.d/login - add the following line: session optional pam_mail.so standard

/etc/pam.d/sshd - add the following line: session optional pam_mail.so standard noenv

For anyone who's interested.

I have a few servers running CentOS release 5.4 (Final) and none of them are displaying a "you have new mail" message on login.

I've asked Professor Google but he is strangely silent. Have I neglected an important setting? I thought this was a default on most linux ditributions.

Any help much appreciated.

Ian
