^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
now what am i missing.
Reading the error message...
chmod g-w /etc/mail
..and do an ls -ld /etc/mail to make sure the owner and
other permissions are sane.

thanks Les,
But my directory for mail has always been:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 10 11:57 /etc/mail
and the two files affected have been:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64 Feb 17 2005 local-host-names
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 Feb 17 2005 trusted-users
if i do not get this fixed i am not too worried at the moment, since i will be reinstalling the system as soon i receive my other sata cable. To make this system a software raid then. But i thought i would throw this out to see if anyone would know...unless the error it is throwing out is not the correct error, then i have no idea what would be wrong.
thanks,
Steven
