Hello,

About every six months, on my Ultrix 4.3A system, something put 
the /dev/null device in ascii mode file. In the same time, when 
users ask for Mail-for-MacIntosh by Appletalk-Decnet, the files 
saved  in  their  $HOME/Mail/mail  directory and  designed by a 
number are deleted.

Any suggestion for this worrying problem ?

Jean-Pol Guillement.
