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.
