When I execute M-x rmail I receive the following message: --------------------------------- movemail: error creating lock file --------------------------------- The following is my lock directory and paths.h file. -------------------- long listing of /usr/local/emacs/lock drwxrwxrwx 2 root other 64 Nov 24 18:58 lock -------------------- ---------------------------------- src/paths.h /* The default search path for Lisp function "load". This sets load-path. */ #define PATH_LOADSEARCH "/usr/local/emacs/lisp" /* the extra search path for programs to invoke. This is appended to whatever the PATH environment variable says to set the Lisp variable exec-path and the first file namein it sets the Lisp variable exec-directory. */ #define PATH_EXEC "/usr/local/emacs/etc" /* the name of the directory that contains lock files with which we record what files are being modified in Emacs. This directory should be writable by everyone. THE STRING MUST END WITH A SLASH!!! */ #define PATH_LOCK "/usr/local/emacs/lock/" /* the name of the file !!!SuperLock!!! in the directory specified by PATH_LOCK. Yes, this is redundant. */ #define PATH_SUPERLOCK "/usr/local/emacs/lock/!!!SuperLock!!!" ---------------------------------- Rmail seems to work when I log in as root, but not any other user. Anything I might have missed? Thanks, Tim Wade tgw@mitre-bedford
