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
I changed the permission of the users so that the owner of their mail
file is <user>:mail and the permissions are -rw-rw---- . But could
somebody shed some light on what other mail files are for above? What
are their permissions that I am supposed to set?
Also, if somebody is familiar with exim/email on Debian, could somebody
explain why the permissions were in such weird state in Etch after
installation?
Thanks,
