[Linux-Discussion] Re: Very newbie question...where do I find the man pages from file manager?

How could you tell I'm at root?

hmm, I see the header of this email says root...
I told netscape messenger to use my pop addy at 
one of my domains hosted on a webhost...

why did root show up? I could have sent mail from 
sendmail from this box, but I don't know how yet...
Is this the default behavior of being in root to 
stamp (or otherwise indicate) root in email headers?

geez, I have a whole lot to learn...

thanks
