Subject: Authentication problem

The problem:

  "X-Authentication-Warning: rigel.oac.uci.edu: rbaqai owned process doing
   -bs"
 "Message-ID:<[email-masked]>

++++++++

As you can see, I am running Pine 3.93 (the latest version that my
administrator will place on the server for those who want something other
than 3.91) on Solaris.

The only change I made to my default settings was to change the
user-domain part to uci.edu so that the from header shows my alias address
instead of my exact server address (which is a little more preferred by
me).  My alias is the same ID I have on this server so it works well.

Question: Why all of a sudden is pine worried about who owned the process
(which I did own anyway)? And how can I change some setting so it doesn't
have a fit over this and will not have an authentication warning line.

For bandwidth purposes, direct replies only are needed if you prefer.

Thank you,
Rasheed

Pine does not complain, your sendmail does complain. A quick workaround is
to add a SMTP server (probably the same machine you are working on) to the
smtp-server variable in your setup/config screen (first page).
