2:"mail: cannot open savefile"

2007-12-25 11:07:00

Hi again:

To those that have been following my travails:

The move to get all users to also be members of mail

is evidently not a good one at all, since all users will be

able to read/edit each others mails.

Actually, the simple solution of having the permissions on

/bin/mail to be 2755 i.e., g+s works just fine.

Did not realize this until rather late !

So what needs to be done is:

A. set up /var/mail/:saved to be 775

B. make sure /bin/mail has permissions g+s on it.

sorry for complicating what is a sime deal!

cheers
