    Hello
     
    Trying to get mpack working for non-root users. works perfectly as root
    - but I wanted to automate the emailing of reports (to themselves) by
    users who do not have root access.
     
    Unfortunately mpack seems to hang when trying to run the program as a
    non-root user - can anyone advise as to what dependancies it's looking
    for that root has access to that a non-root user wouldn't?
     
    Thanks in advance.
