At 12:00 each night, my installation of Mandrake 7.02 makes a security
check on all things. Sometimes it automatically changes ownership of
files that it thinks are vulnerable or dangerous. Tonight at 12:00 it
changed all my "Group Unowned Files" to "nogroup" and suddenly I get the
error
"alert: cannot start: unable to access queue directory"
when I try to run the qmail rc file.
So I manually make the directory accessible, then try to run ./rc again
(from /var/qmail) and get this error:
"alert: cannot start: unable to open mutex"
Am I going to have to reinstall Mandrake with the lowest security setting
to keep it from meddling in my qmail settings? What the heck is "mutex?"
