Now let us see the difference in permissions....
entropia@roadrunner:/var/mail> cd /var/mail entropia@roadrunner:/var/mail> dir totale 112 -rw-r--r-- 1 connectix users 11573 27 set 11.34 connectix -rw-r--r-- 1 mercurio users 0 27 lug 21.27 entropia -rw-rwx---+ 1 root root 97541 23 set 00.57 root -rw-rw---- 1 tss mail 0 10 set 09.41 tss
WTF, both users have same permissions. And why does entropia not receive mail but connectix..does. And root doesn't????? And why doe I have user tss?? What is user tss, I googled and did not find any answer. Still more puzzled.
entropia does not receive any mail because the 'entropia' directory is owned by another user 'mercurio'. connectix does receive any mail because the 'connectix' directory is owned by 'connectix'.
s/directory/mailbox file/
now we are nearly done. I am getting all the mail delivered to entropia. But.... I do see in kmail only the last one. The others aren't displayed. Why this? When I do: s/directory/mailbox file/
What? You actually run "s/directory/mailbox file/"? How?
It shows all the mails for entropia are there.
Just login or "su -" to entropia, and use the command "mail" to see the mail.
So, what was this all about. a) I deactivated ipv6 b) after activating it again, Per Jessen correctly stated that one of the users had the wrong owner. That made me understand how all began when I did reinstall the system last time. As I had multiple system crashes (the culprit was kmail) I had to find out if the fact of having them was kmail or the fact of having a compromised userspace or a compromised index. So I did archive the whole male, did migrate the user to a new userland. When I was done I did notice that the usernumber was not the one which I wanted and was used to for that user. So I did change it to the (in the meanwhile freed up number) and that via yast (done in a third user while the original was shut down) seems not to have worked as expected as for ownership of the rootmail folder. Seems that before, mercurio had the user number of entropy. You may educate me shortly what the usernumer is good for in the first place, but I think I got an idea with all that. So last question (as today I received rootmail from seccheck again) is: what is the right, orthodox way to change the user number of a user in opensuse without running in these troubles. Thank you for all who helped me in this, expecially Per and Carlos but also Freek de Kruif who gave me valuable hints for understanding.
