If your 'tpa' directory resides on an NFS mount, the 'root' user on your system may not have permission to read it. > > Could someone please confirm for me that I can run Gnats without a > mailserver and possibly give me some insight into my problem.

A quick way to disable this is to edit the 'mail-agent' script in the /libexec/gnats directory, and replace the line 'exec $MAIL_AGENT $@ > /dev/null' with something benign, such as 'exec /bin/sh -c 'umask 0; cat > /dev/null'. -- Mel Hatzis > -- > Thank you, > Aidan Delaney. > > Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. > See http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Help-gnats mailing list > Help-gnats@gnu.org > http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats
