Yes. It was a combination of not having the right content in /etc/passwd /etc/group
and file permissions and directory permissions of my home directory.
Now for the record here is what things look like:
asimha AT ASIMHA-W2K /home]$ ls -l
total 0
drwx------+ 8 asimha Administ 0 Feb 15 21:03 asimha
[asimha AT ASIMHA-W2K ~]$ ls -l .procmailrc
-rw-------+ 1 asimha Administ 2246 Feb 15 00:38 .procmailrc
[asimha AT ASIMHA-W2K ~]$ !procmail
procmail VERBOSE=yes .procmailrc < testmail
procmail: [3836] Sat Feb 15 21:06:48 2003
procmail: Rcfile: "/home/asimha/.procmailrc"
procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/asimha"
procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/asimha/mail/"
procmail: Assigning "FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail"
procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=/home/asimha/procmail.log"
procmail: Opening "/home/asimha/procmail.log"
Now ssh is happy with the permissions and ownership as well.
Thanks to all who helped. And anyone who runs into this problem please feel free to email me
(while copying cygwin AT cygwin DOT com of course :-).
I now have mutt, procmail, fetchmail, ssh, aspell combination working. I want to get something
decent working for printing from within mutt next.
Currently for printing from mutt I use a simple shell script:
#!/bin/sh
cat $1 > /tmp/tmp.txt
cygstart --print /tmp/tmp.txt
this allows the tmp.txt to be handled by winword (default handler for txt files in my setup).
I'm sure that there are better ways but this works for directly connected and network printers.
