Sean,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my problem.

> Can you add/change to \jim,	"/pathto/strace -o /tmp/vacation.err
> /usr/bin/vacation jim"

That is a GREAT idea. I changed it to the below and ran 'vacation -I'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
\jim, "|/usr/bin/strace -o /tmp/vacation.err /usr/bin/vacation  jim"
jim@jimweller.net
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the vacation auto-reply worked. Twice (from diff addresses b/c the 
interval timer). I didn't paste the successful strace as you probably 
know what one looks like. I'm completely befuddled and a little 
embarassed. Admittedly it worked a couple of times before, but it was 
very sporadic. I'm pretty stumped now.

Thank you. Duly book marked.

That was 1.2.6.1 after install stripped it. Here is yours with shared 
libraries, unstripped, using the below gcc.   BTW install tries to strip 
the perl script vaclook. Wait a minute! It's running strip without the 
-g so it's stripping more than . I think I just hand copied it this time 
and that's why it worked. Let me test this.....No that wasn't it. Now it 
just works all the time. Woohoo!

gcc  -m486 -Wall  -Xlinker -warn-common 
-D_PATH_VACATION=\"/usr/bin/vacation\" -o vacation vacation.c -lgdbm

I kind of feel like schizophrenic screaming in a strait jacket, "I'm not 
crazy! I'm not crazy!", but I'm VERY happy that my little rubber room is 
working now. I'll stick with 1.2.6.1.

Thank you again Sean both for the software and the time,
Jim Weller
