Hi Brian, Thanks for your assistance. It helped. Ooops, I forgot that plain text is preferred for mailing lists and news groups... I'm just so used to creating readable emails these days using bold text. Thanks for the reminder. > (1) sendmail_enable="NONE" in /etc/rc.conf This worked very well to eliminate the first problem. > (2) Edit file /etc/mail/mailer.conf I had done this when the freebsd installer asked to overwrite /etc/mail/mailer.conf. Ok, so sendmail is now out. There is still the second problem with the permissions denied (listed below in plain text this time). Anyone have any ideas? All the best, Peter Installing Courier Mail I get the following messages during booting. This error occurs when running the courier startup rc.d script. It seems that the permissions on the directories is not correct? What should they be? # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier.sh start /var/spool/courier/tmp/courierfilter.pid: Permission denied authdaemond/var/spool/courier/tmp/ldapaliasd.lock: Permission denied ll_daemon_start: Resource temporarily unavailable Could it be something to do with the location of the "/var/spool/courier/tmp/" directory on freebsd? "ls" logs follow. ../rc.d/courier.sh paths: prefix=/usr/local sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/courier sbindir=/usr/local/sbin libexecdir=/usr/local/libexec datadir=/usr/local/share/courier sensei# pwd /var/spool/courier/tmp sensei# ls -alg total 6 drwxrwx--- 3 courier courier 512 Jan 11 11:23 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Jan 11 11:05 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 11 10:23 broken -rw------- 1 root courier 0 Jan 11 11:23 courierd.lock -rw------- 1 root courier 0 Jan 11 11:23 esmtpd-msa.pid.lock -rw------- 1 root courier 0 Jan 11 11:23 esmtpd.pid.lock prw-rw---- 1 62 62 0 Jan 11 11:23 trigger sensei# Permissions for /var/spool/courier/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Jan 11 11:05 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root wheel 512 Jan 11 10:23 .. -r-------- 1 courier courier 0 Jan 11 11:05 .noident drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 10:23 allfilters drwxrwx--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 11:42 authdaemon drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 10:23 filters drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 10:23 msgq drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 10:23 msgs drwxrwx--- 3 courier courier 512 Jan 11 11:23 tmp allfilters: total 4 drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 10:23 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Jan 11 11:05 .. authdaemon: total 6 drwxrwx--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 11:42 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Jan 11 11:05 .. -rw------- 1 root courier 0 Jan 11 11:23 lock -rw-r--r-- 1 root courier 4 Jan 11 11:42 pid srwxrwxrwx 1 root courier 0 Jan 11 11:42 socket filters: total 4 drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 10:23 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Jan 11 11:05 .. msgq: total 4 drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 10:23 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Jan 11 11:05 .. msgs: total 4 drwxr-x--- 2 courier courier 512 Jan 11 10:23 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Jan 11 11:05 .. tmp: total 6 drwxrwx--- 3 courier courier 512 Jan 11 11:23 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Jan 11 11:05 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 11 10:23 broken -rw------- 1 root courier 0 Jan 11 11:23 courierd.lock -rw------- 1 root courier 0 Jan 11 11:23 esmtpd-msa.pid.lock -rw------- 1 root courier 0 Jan 11 11:23 esmtpd.pid.lock prw-rw---- 1 62 62 0 Jan 11 11:23 trigger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
