Jochen -- ...and then jochen issing said... % % Hi List,
Hello! % % after my recent update to 1.4i, I am not able able to remove any mails How did you install mutt? Were you root, or just jochen? % out of my spool files. I can open /var/mail/jochen with vim and can % write it, but mutt refuses writing. % I found in the internet the configure switch --enable-extern-dotlock % and compiled it once more, but this did not help. % I am using debian woody stable. Please show us what ls -lFd /var/mail /var/mailjochen `which mutt` `which mutt_dotlock` mutt -v gives you. I suspect that /var/mail is writable only by owner (root) and group (mail) and that either mutt (if it is -DL_STANDALONE) or mutt_dotlock (if mutt is +DL_STANDALONE) is not installed with the SGID bit set and mail groupship. % % Thanks, Sure thing! % % jochen HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
