Removing the noenv option from the pam_mail line should make that complaint disappear from your logs. I'm not sure I understand why, but that's how it tests here. I've got one machine whose pam_mail line looks like this: session optional pam_mail.so standard and another with: session optional pam_mail.so standard noenv and the latter gets complaints exactly like you describe each time a user logs out (or more precisely, closes the ssh session). Commenting it out (so that it the config was like the other machine) silenced it. If you play with this, test to make sure that the MAIL environment variable is being set in a sane way and doesn't break anything for your users. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume.shtml
