Correctly configured? To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 12 Dec 1995 11:57:49 +0000 () MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hiho, just trying to get VM working under xemacs (and I know there's at least a few xemacs freaks here 8) movemail: Permission denied for /var/mail The faq suggests setgid mail and mode 2555, the idea being to write lockfiles to the mail spool I presume. This doesn't help (we have no mail group, and setgid bin didn't help either) 1) Is movemail being compiled correctly? 2) If so, what else needs to be done to make it work? -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
