On our Sun network, we have one of our servers set up to be the mailhost and mailbox server, and we NFS mount /var/spool/mail on all the other machines. We are about to add another server to the network, and would like to have it be the mailbox server, while keeping the current mailhost as is. My question: Is there anything special we need to do to make this switch besides editing all the /etc/fstab's, bringing all machines down but our NFS servers, copying the mail files over to the new machine, and rebooting everything? Thanks for any and all help. A quick reply would be appreciated. -- David Willard | "It's like there's a party Dept. of Computer Science, Clemson U. | in my mouth and everyone's dwillar@hubcap.clemson.edu | invited!" ** FU ONE TIME!
