Dear Walter,
Hi ! Does the hardensuse script something wich make the mails in /var/spool/mail set to chmod 600 ?
Sometimes I see in /var/log/warn: procmail[20002]: Insufficient privileges to deliver to "root" or similar.
chmod 660 "by hand" -> /var/log/mail: procmail[22902]: Enforcing stricter permissions on "/var/spool/mail/root"
Where can can I reset this behavior or is there a solution? Thanks for assistance.
The most convenient and reasonable solution for this problem doesn't even touch its origin. Forward mail sent to root to a dedicated, unpriviliged account. Reading mails as root is definitely not a bright idea. Use /etc/aliases near the end of the file for this purpose, and don't forget newaliases. :-) Thanks, Roman. -- _ _ | Roman Drahtmüller "The best way to pay for a | CC University of Freiburg lovely moment is to enjoy it." | email: draht@uni-freiburg.de - Richard Bach | - -
