Subject: Pine Mailbox locks

I've got a major lock problem here on my system.  After upgrading to Linux
2.0 from 1.2.13 and also swapping disks (involving the tarring and
untarring of large volumes of files :) my user pine mailboxes (inbox AND
all user-created boxes) have locks on them that will not go away.  I've
checked permissions, tried find for .pine or .lock files, in short done
just about everything I could think of, yet these locks remain.  The
side-note is that all root mailboxes work fine.  I had the problem under
3.91 but since upgraded to 3.94 and the problems remain.
Please help, it's been plaguing me for days!
Thanks!

when everybody else is sitting down.  To have everybody look at you and 
say, "What's the matter with him?"  I know.  I know what it feels like.  
Walking down an empty street, listening to the sound of your own 
footsteps.  Shutters closed, blinds drawn, doors locked against you.  And 
you aren't sure whether you're walking toward something, or if you're 
just walking away."   --  Jerome Lawrence, Inherit the Wind.

Howdy,

I compiled a 2.0.0 kernel a few days ago and remember seeing a
reference to a kernel level file locking feature.  I would recommend
taking a look around in the Configure.help file in the "Documentation"
directory under the /usr/src/linux (or wherever you put your kernel
source) tree.

Good luck,
Rod
