Operating Systems Solaris How can I edit the mailbox manually Post 302271823 by reborg on Sunday 28th of December 2008 10:49:50 AM

It looks more like you have session termination problems than anything else or that you are opening mail from multiple computers. If the former I would suggest that you simply remove /var/spool/mail/.xxx.xxx.pop (instead of recreating the account) and in the latter case I would suggest that you simply forward your mail to gmail instead of collecting it through pop or that you switch to another collection method such as a client with good spam filtering and use your mail server directly.

timedsetup(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     timedsetup(8)

NAME
timedsetup - Performs initial setup of the time server daemon (timed). SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/timedsetup DESCRIPTION
The timedsetup command is an interactive script that can be used to perform initial time service configuration for your system. By default, timed does not start at boot time. The timedsetup script asks if you want the timed daemon to be started at boot time, and prompts you for any options to pass to the timed daemon whenever it is invoked. The script then starts the timed daemon. For more information on the timed options, see the timed(8) reference page. Note The timed daemon is provided for compatibility. Tru64 UNIX also provides support for the Network Time Protocol (NTP) through the xntpd daemon. Compaq recommends you use NTP for time synchronization. If your system is configured to run NTP, the timedsetup command passes the -E and -M options to the timed daemon by default. If you plan to run both the timed daemon and NTP, you should configure NTP first. RESTRICTIONS
In configurations with two or more hosts each connected to the same two or more subnetworks, only one of the host can run the timed with the -M option. FILES
Specifies the command pathname The timed startup and shutdown script Specifies timed parameters pertinent to a specific system SEE ALSO
Commands: timed(8), xntpd(8) timedsetup(8)
