Yeah, you'll have to do something like this. This is one reason I would like msec to parse "source" files in something like /etc/security/msec/msec.d/ or something (BTW, you want to edit the files in /etc/security/msec, not in /usr/share/msec). Then the exim package could install /etc/security/msec/msec.d/exim which would contain the proper permissions for the exim server. > BTW: exim works great on Mandrake ;) I know... I ran it for a while on a spare server just to play with it... had it archiving a dozen or so mailing lists (some high traffic) with mhonarc... worked great, but I'm a qmail junkie so I switched back after a while. =) -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.18-6.4mdk uptime: 11 days 1 hour 55 minutes.
