Message in log file: ERROR: mkdir (/var/lock/uucp): Permission denied /var/lock is a bind to /var/run with 0755 permission and root/lock for user and group. ls -ln /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r-sr-sr-x 1 10 14 279624 Oct 29 2011 /usr/lib/uucp/uucico passwd uucp:x:10:14:Unix-to-Unix CoPy system:/etc/uucp:/bin/bash group uucp:x:14: ps -eo egroup,pid,user,args uucp 22918 uucp uucico -S XXX Unfortunately adding uucp to lock in group did not help either group lock:x:54:uucp even with effective group of uucp as seen in the ps output. Changing permissions to 1777 for /var/run manually and in /etc/rc.d/boot fixed it for me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
