As a temporary hack, I do: chmod a+w+x+r /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/ What did I do before this happened? I had a look in Yast at users / local security and User management, changed nothing. I also tried "CA Management" to create a CA. Tried to create a "common server certificate", which failed to find the newly created CA. Exited Yast, tried to enter again... failed. Can't enter again. Then I noticed I can no longer "su" to root! In /etc/pam.d there are some files dated today, but half an hour ago: common-account-pc common-auth-pc common-password-pc common-session-pc contents: common-account-pc: account required pam_unix2.so common-auth-pc auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_unix2.so common-password-pc: password requisite pam_pwcheck.so nullok cracklib minlen=7 password required pam_unix2.so nullok use_authtok common-session-pc: session required pam_limits.so session required pam_unix2.so session optional pam_umask.so AppArmour: one log entry: prof usr/bin/mdnsd capability sys_tty_config severity 8 which I have enabled to see if that was it.
