Hello, My qmail installation lies in /var/qmail currently the permissions are -- rwxr-xr-x root qmail /var/qmail The moment i remove rx for others my pop stops working. (for authentication i use checklocalpasswd with /etc/poppasswd). I have tried a lot of permutations / combinations with the groups nofiles & qmail But the problem remains unsolved. My main intention is to remove all access for others for the qmail dir /var/qmail (for security ofcourse) I am running qmail thro tcpserver / supervise combo. qmail-send invoked as root but spawns its services with nofiles & qmail group ownership qmail-smtp invoked with qmail group ownership qmail-pop3d invoked with root ownership I tried to create a common group say qmaildir and assign it as second group to all qmail users eg. alias,qmaill etc and change the group ownership of /var/qmail to it But ... still doesn't work. Qmail Itself is totally fine. I am probably missing something. Thanx & Regards Mustafa M. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- VeetVision Communications (P) Ltd.
