Here are a couple... 1) If you are using sendmail, you can edit /etc/aliases and add something like usersgroupmail: user1@xxxxxxxxxx,user2@xxxxxxxxxx,user3.... (if the accounts are on the same box as sendmail, you just need the base userid,not the @) Then run `newaliases` Then just send mail to usersgroupmail If your using postfix, it is /etc/postfix/virtual and run `postmap reload` or something, it's commented at the top of the file. 2) make a user account like usersgroupmail and create a .forward file with the user list in it. As far as the root ping problem, it doesn't make much sense. Both accounts are using the same utility and the same network configuration. Have you set an aliase for ping in the users .bashrc? What version of RH? I remember having to set an aliase to use ping -U to get rid of some timing errors. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
