Hello to all the list. I have an ugly problem at boot time, maybe in a rc* script. At boot time i can read this lines on the screen: [snip] can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/) : Permission denied. Program mode requires special privileges, e.g. root or TrustedUser. [snip] Now I try to login as normal user: login:giamma password:xxxxx i get the error: can't find root directory (Arrrrgh!) If I login as superuser i have no problem, and i can see that the user directory is present, also the / dir. If I try doing #su giamma I get the error: su:/bin/csh:permission denied. duh! What's happening? Also if I try doing something like #sendmail stop I get the same error at the top. mmm. Let me see. Sure it's a sendmail problem, but where's the mistake? I haven't touched /etc/rc.sendmail, nor /etc/rc.d/sendmail at all. Also /etc/password, /etc/groups look good. I've only tried to modify /boot/loader.conf (hostname, boot verbose, loading modules) but I've not touched sendmail at all! Someone have any idea? I've tried to look at the faq, but I haven't found anything that could fit the problem. What I did? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Greetings, Gianmario.
