Hi,
I reinstalled Etch yesterday and today when I started mutt I got:
/var/mail/user1: Permission denied (errno = 13)
where user1 is my username. The permissions in /var/mail are:
> ls -l /var/mail
total 0
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:25 Debian-exim
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:29 gdm
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:26 hal
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:25 identd
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:25 messagebus
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:31 user1
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 16:32 sshd
---------- 1 root mail 0 2006-06-05 14:25 statd
Something is not right here; after installation the mail is not readable.
I have:
$> dpkg -l *exim* | grep ^i
ii exim4 4.62-1 metapackage to ease exim MTA
(v4) installation
ii exim4-base 4.62-1 support files for all exim
MTA (v4) packages
ii exim4-config 4.62-1 configuration for the exim
MTA (v4)
ii exim4-daemon-light 4.62-1 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon
Could somebody point to the right cause of the problem and how to solve
it? BTW, when I reinstalled Etch, I did not touch the home directories
and they are the same. I was careful that the newly created users had
the same uid and gids as before.
thanks,
->HS
