However, there is an alternative of sorts. What I do is to make the file /usr/spool/mail/[usenet|news] a link to my mailbox file. If I were ever to actually take a vacation (:-)) I would just change the link to whoever was going to be news administrator in my place, then change it back when I returned. It may be crude, but it seems to work for me. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | allegra\ Randy Horton | | decwrl \ | | dual >!pyramid!ranhome!randy | | nsc / | | topaz / | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
