Hey Gary,

You may have hit on my problem.  I remember playing
around with "rootkit" earlier, didn't understand it,
just forgot about it and don't know what it might have
done.  Would you elaborate on what you did, please?
All I have in /var/spool/mail is:
lchata at ubuntu:/var/spool/mail$ ls -al
total 6564
drwxrwsr-x  2 root   mail    4096 2007-10-26 15:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root   root    4096 2007-08-12 17:04 ..
-rw-------  1 lchata mail 6664829 2007-10-26 18:07
lchata
-rw-r--r--  1 lchata mail   32490 2007-10-26 18:07

lchata at ubuntu:/var/spool/mail$
