Thanks for the clarification, there is something strange about vacation,
even if i use vacation user and vacation -I user, the .forward, .msg and .db
are been created on /root intead of /home/user. Im doing it with root, if i
su user and type the same commands the files are created anyway on /root ,
why is this??
