Hi all,
I am having a problem with the vacation binary under sendmail-8.11.2
compiled with db-2.7.7 on Tru64 4.0g (Alpha OSF1).

The problem is that if the vacation is run as root using the -i -f -m
username the .db file is not created.
The command I am using is:
# vacation -i -f /usr/home/user/.vacation.db -m
/usr/home/user/.vacation.msg user

the binary works fine if you are the user 'user' for example and you run
vacation -i
the .db file is created in the users home dir and all functions normally.

Any assistance would be great!
thanks
Jai.
