In the >/etc/aliases file the exists the following alias: >listserv: "|/bin/cat >> /usr/guest/ermis/requests" Ack! This isn't a very good way to do this.

Just create it, and make sure that everyone can access it. (Both for read and write) Yes kiddies, this is yash (Yet another "security" hole. If anyone can read/write to the file, then they can also change the contents...) -Jeff -- Jeff Beadles jeff@onion.pdx.com
