i hope thats a joke! this thread consists of:

1. a guy asking a "linux" question which sounded to be a pretty shaky question (as if he himself is not *that* sure of what's going on)
2. a bunch of people being confused

And then an accepted answer that is jsut a restatement of the question.
Q: "My car needs a new alternator, how do I fix it?"
A: "Put a new alternator in it"

yeah, i saw that answer and i was like "haha, what a sarcastic dumbass.." and then i read the next post and realize that it was accepted as a legit answer, amazing!

I'll start off with the first one.

OS: Linux
Question: User logs into their shell, open their mail program and it says "Error: Mailbox must have 1777 protection" then flips to "Mailbox Vulnerable". What is the fix for this?

reformat - install windows

WTF? He's trying to fix a problem, not infect his computer with a virus!

try the Operating systems forum perhaps?

btw, thats not an os question, its an application question
