skym> Hi. I'm using sendmail as my mailer, and when I try and send mail I skym> get this message: skym> Jun 24 13:27:25 satellite sendmail[6233]: g5OKRPng006233: SYSERR(skym): collect: Cannot write ./dfg5OKRPng006233 (bfcommit, uid=1001, gid=25): Permission denied skym> which is a little annoying. This problem goes away if I set the skym> permissions on /var/spool/mqueue to 777, but I am of course loathe to skym> do this. Does sendmail need to be suid? Do I need to pass extra skym> flags? It looks like the process above which is trying to write has skym> gid 25, which is smmsp. The /var/spool/mqueue file allows writing by skym> this group, so I don't understand. Thanks in advance for any help. Sounds like you didn't run mergemaster and install /etc/mail/submit.cf. The permissions on /var/spool/mqueue should be: drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Jun 24 13:53 /var/spool/mqueue or: drwx------ 2 root daemon 512 Jun 24 13:53 /var/spool/mqueue To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
