Unfortunately I don't fall into that "kernel hacker" category.
Could somebody explain how to get ELM2.4-PL21 working under
NetBSD??  I ran configure, which bombed at 1688 in the CPP options
section.  So I commented that out since I didn't really need any
and configure ran ok.  lib/opt_utils.c had a tolower() and toupper()
that conflicted with the gcc clib, but did the same thing, so I
deleted the one in opt_utils.c.
Commenting out POSIX_SIGNALS (sp?) and HASPROCSIGMASK (sp?) allowed
me to compile it ok.
It seems to work, reads mail fine, says it's sending it, but all the
messages it sends are empty.  I ran it with "-D 5" and it looks like
it is getting an errno=2 on a "stat" of the vi tmp file "/tmp.snd.xxx"
but tmp is 777 and elm is setgid!

If anyone has any great ideas and can explain what to do, or where to
get a working elm, I would be very appreciative! 

(and yes, I do feel stupid, cause this feels like it should be obvious)
