.forward not working? 1

[OOCraftsman]

I have a solaris system where in *my* home directory, the .forward works great, but in another user's home directory, the .forward is ignored completely. The dir is rwxr-xr-x, the file is -rwxr-xr-x. I changed the file to -rw-r--r-- too. No difference.

Have you changed the owner of the file to the UID you are forward?
