Hello all.
I am currently using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga).
I have multiple users on this system and intend to use nail command to send out emails.
When I enter the command:
nail <some-email-address>
its accepts the command and sends out an email.
But when I log into the system using orasoa user and try using the nail command, this is what I get;
ORASOA @titan3:/home/orasoa>nail <some-email-address>
temporary mail message file: Permission denied
The .bash_profile of orasoa user is:
ORASOA @titan3:/home/orasoa>cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs

Why cant I send out Emails using nail command from this specific user? What seems to be the problem here?
