Re: A simple question regarding watch and mqueue

Update, if I change the permissions on
/var/spool/mqueue to 0777 then it doesn't give me that
"permission denied error" anymore. Instead it gives me
a different one :) Like so...

$ cvs edit myfile.txt
$ notification... User unknown
CVS... User unknown

Does this mean that the user notification is being
sent to is unknown ? In anycase, my users file under
CVSROOT/users look like:

sarwat:sarwat
russell:russell
root:root

All users are local so I'm not specifying a domain
name in the email (is that the problem ?).

Thanks,
Sarwat.
