Your shell was trying to execute those things as though they were shell commands, but they're not. You have to execute only the actual commands: strace -e connect postqueue -p |& grep showq and: exit > > Back as root: > > > > # chmod 710 /var/spool/postfix/public > > # ls -ld /var/spool/postfix/public > > drwx--x---. 2 postfix postdrop 4096 Jan 2 18:30 > > /var/spool/postfix/public > > drwx--s--- 2 postfix postdrop 88 Jan 2 17:46 /var/spool/postfix/public > > > # chmod g+s /usr/sbin/postqueue > > # ls -l /usr/sbin/postqueue > > -rwxr-sr-x 1 root postdrop 60072 Dec 23 18:08 /usr/sbin/postqueue > > -r-xr-sr-x 1 root postdrop 22760 Sep 7 02:58 /usr/sbin/postqueue > > > Are those missing write permissions the cause of my problems? > > Ken It doesn't look like it. My /var/spool/postfix/public is also drwx--s--- so that group postdrop can access things inside it, and postqueue is -r-xr-sr-x so it runs as group postdrop. Your permissions look correct. The usual reason for correct permissions not working is, as Wietse said, AppArmor or selinux getting in the way. If you installed auditd, and then examined /var/log/audit/* to see what AppArmor is blocking, and found nothing at all that might be Postfix-related, then it's a mystery. Selinux logs go into /var/log/audit/* as well, but its logs use lower case "denied" rather than upper case "DENIED" like AppArmor does, so check for that as well. But you'd probably know if selinux was active. good luck, raf
