Hi,

I just noticed two users having problems sending mail from the
w20-575-89 workstations.  Here are their questions:

>I'm having problems sending a message. Here's whay's happening:
>What now? send
>cannot open /usr/lib/sendmail.cf: No such file or directory
>send: message not delivered to anyone

>I got this when I tried to send mail using "comp" and "mhmail":
>cannot chdir(/usr/spool/mqueue): No such file or directory
>/usr/new/mh.6.6/lib/spost: Exit 70
>Letter saved in dead.letter

That doesn't look too right.  I guess running "track" as root would
fix it?
