sudo printenv doesn't show anything that on the face of it is not root's. And root doesn't have a .mailrc, nor does the /etc/mail.rc file reference SUDO_USER, and moving /etc/mail.rc to a different name doesn't fix anything either. I'm thinking I have to open a bugzilla with RH on this. -- Frank Swasey | http://www.uvm.edu/~fcs Sr Systems Administrator | Always remember: You are UNIQUE, University of Vermont | just like everyone else.
