Postfix emits this warning (ending up in /var/log/warn and triggering system monitoring alerts): Jan 28 20:01:43 prod postfix/postfix-script[1780]: warning: group or other writable: /etc/postfix/./ssl/cacerts Here's that file and what it ultimately points to: $ ls -l /etc/postfix/ssl total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 22 13:13 cacerts -> ../../ssl/certs/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 17 2017 certs/ $ ls -ld /etc/ssl/certs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Oct 12 21:28 /etc/ssl/certs -> /var/lib/ca-certificates/pem/ $ ls -ld /var/lib/ca-certificates/pem dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 28672 Nov 16 20:14 /var/lib/ca-certificates/pem/ Note that the file is actually a symbolic link, and the directory it ultimately does point to is not group or world readable. BUG: Postfix should not warn about the readability of symbolic links.
