rpm shows 'postfix-2.7.2-13.14.1' installed via update 'Thu 21 Apr 2011 10:29:35 PM EDT'

No, as far as I can see the rpm installs it with permissions 0755 and /etc/permissions.d/postfix also says 0755 Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I've just seen the same in a newly installed 11.4 system. It happens when sendmail is invoked by cron running a command as non-root. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690166 -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Great forensics work, Per!

Do I get at least partial credit for paying attention to my logs? :-)

If you hadn't asked this questions earlier, I might well have overlooked those messages for a while. I figure that must be worth 50% of the credit :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
