All that's hosted on the remote NFS server is the actual user mailboxes. The MySQL files are root accessible, as are the other postfix files in /etc. The dovecot agent has no problems, so I guess my question is what persmissions are required for the mysql .cf files, and the /vmail folder.
I know this environment is "mine" and possibly strange (though I see no reason why hosting potentially large mailboxes on remote storage NAS/SAN etc would be strange), but is there are way to enable more verbose debugging to nail this one? Thanks for your help thus far - I'm definitely getting the hang of this stuff ;-) -- s t e p h e n h o l m e s mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: +353 86 833 5027 web: http://www.gallopinggreen.com
