To Answer one's post is a bit embarrassing but it seems I have no choice . I managed to work over the PATH problem and the debug but then I encountered a different problem : # tail /var/log/messages
Nov 20 11:01:13 linux postfix/postsuper[17723]: fatal: scan_dir_push: open directory defer: Permission denied Nov 20 11:01:14 linux postfix/postfix-script: fatal: Postfix integrity check failed! I suspected that this has to do with the username I'm running the service on , checking the mail/warning file I got my answer : # tail /var/log/mail/warnings Nov 20 11:01:13 linux postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by assi: /var/spool/postfix/maildrop verifying this showed that : # ls -la /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/ total 8 drwx-wx--- 2 postfix postdrop 4096 Aug 18 19:34 ./ drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Nov 20 10:19 ../ So my new question is this - should I create/assign a user with privileges to run the service or do I just change the ownership of the files to the unprivileged user ?

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin? xxgdb /usr/lib/postfix/ & sleep 5 I haven't changed the parameters of the PATH in the file and they are still like this # The debugger_command specifies the external command that is executed # when a Postfix daemon program is run with the -D option. # # Use "command .. & sleep 5" so that the debugger can attach before # the process marches on. If you use an X-based debugger, be sure to # set up your XAUTHORITY environment variable before starting Postfix. # PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 The machine is running MDK 9.1.
