Dear managers,
I have a problem with mail notification. I use NFS to export the
/usr/spool/mail directory located on our NFS server. On each
NFS client, the user's MAIL variable is set to /import/mail.
On the NFS server, when biff is set to yes ('biff y'), users are notified
when there receive a new mail. On the NFS clients, notification works only
when using X based notifiers (xbiff, coolmail, tkpostage). Setting biff
to yes or no changes nothing.
Is it possible to be notified by using just 'biff y' on a client ? This
is very usefull when working from a VT100 terminal.
Thanks in advance.
Christophe.
