I just figured out why "from" stopped working on my system.
To counter problems of utmp corruption, I added XTerm*utmpInhibit: true
to my system Xresources. Now, when I telnet in or use a vt, from still
works just fine, but when I try it from an xterm, which uses a tty that
is not listed in utmp, I get:
dthumim:/users/dthumim> from
from: can't find post office server.
from: Trying unix mail drop...
dthumim:/users/dthumim>
I do have kerberos tickets in that xterm, and "inc" works just fine.
This would seem to be a bug in "from".
