Looks like my previous question didn't get through the mailing list. I'm recending it again . . . Every time when I'm starting smtpd I'm getting this message in /var/log/warn: sendmail[3241]: daemon could not open control socket /var/run/sendmail.control: Group writable directory What does it mean and how to fix it?

Due to security issues, sendmail will not create its control socket in a directory which is group writable. If it did, there is potential for people to do nasty things to sendmail. To fix it, remove the writable bit from the /var/run directory, or select a different directory for the control socket. To do the former, this command should work: chmod g-w /var/run Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- 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/faq
