When some users connect to pick up mail on a particular 3.4-RELEASE
server (new install and users, running qpopper and postfix) the attempt
fails with the console error message :
Jan 31 15:56:11 gato popper[12014]: gordy@[10.0.1.2]: -ERR System error,
can't open temporary file, do you own it?
If I "chmod go+w mail" everything works, but none of the other servers
need these extra permissions. The mail directory was moved to /usr
following the install (tarred and untarred) and there is a link to it
from /var. It's owned by root, group is mail. What'd I mess up?
TIA ...jgm
