I got a question for anyone using root-tail to view their procmail log file. I don't remember this happening till recently but I'm not sure. Any way, what happens is when i run mailstat on the log file, root-tail nolonger follows the file. The only thing i can think of that changed is that I upgraded the root-tail package from the website, but I reinstalled the version from the CD with no change in behavior. Does anyone else have a similar circumstance with a log file of some type? /var/log/message or something?
Check /etc/permissions* and /etc/logfiles files. SuSE (at least later versions) uses these to periodically set owner, group, and mode on assorted system files. IMHO, since SuSE has /etc/permissions*, /etc/logfiles is redundant and confusing. But it's there, and you have to deal with it. -- Ron Oliver (mailto:roliver-suse@quantum-networks.com) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
