Hello,

When I start our 'notes' like 'notes system',
I get this message:

You aren't allowed to read /usr/spool/notes/system
There is no policy note
Hit any key to continue

I've tried in superuser mode,but I can't access this group to read messages.
What could be the problem ?,and how do I solve it ?

Glad for an answer,Jonas

Jonas,

The notes package is set up with a single super-user type signon and
its not root. You can fix the problem by su-ing to the signon -notes-
and then going into the notesfiles that respond as you indicated. Once
in the notesfile then type -d- to take you to notesfile director
options. Once in the director options you need to set the permissions
(access) to the notesfiles, you do this by typing -p- and from there
assigning either user, group or system level permissions. As the
bottom line RTFM.
