This has probably been covered or is in the documentation, but I'll be 
darned if I can find a reference to it.   Here goes....


I can't seem to get mush and vacation to live happily everafter on my
Sun (os 4.0.3  3/80).  Mush version is 7.1.2 and I remember having the
same problem on earlier ver 7s.

I set up vacation with a message file and a .forward file.  sendmail
complains:

vacation: No message to send
cannot open database /home/opus/tsf/.vacation
500 "|/usr/ucb/vacation/tsf"... Bad usage

The interesting thing is .vacation is not created by the vacation program.

This all works well if I don't have mush running in the background.  Of 
course when I go on vacation next week, I won't be running mush in the
background on my inactive workstation, but I'd like to.

Anyone else seen this?  Anyone have a hint of the cause or fix to it?

Thanks.
