-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Charles Howse Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 6:08 PM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: qpopper error I plan to use qpopper to retrieve root's mail (which I have aliased to 'charles'). I will use my home lan to connect to the FBSD box from my Mac, and read the mail. "Charles" is indeed a valid user on the FBSD box. I ssh to that box as charles, and am logged in as charles right now. On Jun 20, 2005, at 9:28 AM, fbsd_user wrote: > First of all I have qpopper running on 4.10 and 5.4 with out any > problems.
