I can't get "inc" to work right for users whose username on
the local system is not the same as their athena username. When they
do "inc -host poN.mit.edu -user <athena_username>" it gives the
message "inc: no mail to incorporate" (unless they're root, in which
case it works), even though msgchk tells them they do. Any ideas how
to fix this?
I've noticed a bug on non-Linux Athena workstations, where the -h flag
to inc is ignored. I believe that the Linux package is built from the
same set of sources, so it probably has the same bug. When I need to
inc off of a po other than my normal one, I setenv MAILHOST
accordingly, which seems to be aneffective work-around. I hadn't
noticed that root worked any differently, but I hadn't looked.
Anyone on linux-dev interested in looking into this?
